Hi, I'm Grace Frost. I was honoured to report for the Review as their Digital Journalist from mid-2022 to the beginning of 2024. Ive since made a move to the Herald Sun.

BlueCross Willowmeade Kilmore’s June Hay celebrated her 100th birthday on Friday, bringing together family and other residents for a day of festivities.

Born in 1923 and living most of her married life north of Epping, Ms Hay has been a resident of BlueCross Willowmeade for four years and said her experience there had been ‘wonderful’.

While the day was a celebration of her milestone birthday, Ms Hay said she was happy to share it with everyone else at the home.

“I think it’s very exciting and I’m so happy to see everybody else so happy about it too,” she said.

“It’s not just my day, it’s other peoples’ day as well. Everybody seems to be enjoying it and it’s lovely when I’ve got my family near me too. It’s always very special.”

When asked if she had any tips or habits that contributed to her long life, Ms Hay refused to give up her secrets citing that ‘they wouldn’t be a secret anymore, would they?’.

“I’ll share it with the Lord. I’m sure that I couldn’t do it on my own because I’m so well, I feel so healthy,” she said.

“I wake up in the morning and I’m happy to get up and get going. I’m just enjoying my life.”

Ms Hay was appreciative of life at BlueCross Willowmeade.

“If you asked me what was wrong with it, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. It’s very good as far as I’m concerned,” she said.

“There’s enough going on to keep me interested, they run events and different things like today with people coming in and singing for us – it’s great.”

Ms Hay’s family joined her for the celebrations, including her four children – one of them travelling from Queensland to make the occasion.
