Best birthday ever, says Maisie, 100!

Many congratulations to Mrs Maisie Jameson from the Church of the Epiphany, Parish of Finaghy and Upper Malone, who celebrated her 100^th birthday on September 13.

The Rev Louise Stewart, rector, was among those to pay a socially-distanced visit to Maisie, who lives independently at home in Finaghy, on the big day.

Maisie, along with her late husband Dick, has been a faithful member of the Church of the Epiphany for many years. Dick was a sexton and did a lot of work around the parish, and Maisie remains a loyal and involved member of the parish Mothers’ Union. The couple have one daughter, Ann.

It has been an eventful year for Maisie. She moved into a nursing home for respite care following a fall early this year and, because of lockdown, she remained there for more weeks than had been originally intended. During this time, Maisie contracted Covid-19, but was asymptomatic and has made a full recovery. She returned to her own home in April.

Louise said: “I really had to go and visit Maisie as we have been counting down the years to this big birthday. I hadn’t seen her since March and she was looking great. She said it had been the best birthday she has ever had!”
