Woopi News - 100th Birthday to Betty Backman

Celebrating a Century of Life: Betty Backman's Remarkable Journey

Last month one of Woolgoolga’s favourite residents celebrated a remarkable milestone.

Betty Backman marked her 100th trip around the sun surrounded by the warmth of her family and friends.

Betty’s centennial birthday was a testament to a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

A resident since the 1980s, one of Betty’s early ventures into community service was through Meals on Wheels, where she dedicated her time to delivering nourishment and companionship to those in need. It was through this initiative that she forged lasting friendships and became a familiar face in Woolgoolga.

Betty was also a proud member of the RSL Women’s Auxiliary for many years.

A devout member of the Uniting Church, Betty enjoys playing cards and Bingo, still participating to this day at the Woolgoolga Retirement Village.

Here’s to Betty Backman, a beloved centenarian of Woolgoolga. Happy 100th Birthday, Betty!
