Evelyn turns 102<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

LEONGATHA\u2019S Woorayl Lodge was in celebration mode recently, as resident Evelyn Nunn turned 102.<\/p>\n

Relatives of Ms Nunn visited her on her special day and the staff of Woorayl Lodge through a party on April 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had lots of calls from people wanting to come and see me,\u201d Ms Nunn said.<\/p>\n

Ms Nunn was born in Shepparton, and although she lived in New South Wales for a number of years, she considers herself well and truly a Victorian.<\/p>\n

Though she was the only one to reach triple digits, five of Ms Nunn\u2019s siblings also lived well into their nineties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere must be something good on my side of the family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Nunn spent 50 years of her life living in Melbourne and raised a daughter and a son.<\/p>\n

Now she loves the Leongatha lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving here has been very good. I would never go back to the city,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been very fortunate here.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her three years at Woorayl Lodge, she only had one bad turn. A fall left her in the Wonthaggi hospital for several weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctor at Wonthaggi hospital, who was a wonderful man, said I was probably not going to leave the hospital. But I did, and here I am. I\u2019ve very lucky,\u201d Ms Nunn said.<\/p>\n

She keeps herself active by walking around the lodge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it\u2019s really nice outside, I walk around two or three times a day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love reading and I\u2019m getting to the point where I also love sleeping.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Nunn is appreciative of her family and of the staff who work in the lodge.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter and her husband were invited to a lunch here. Everyone here (at the lodge) is so kind,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have four grandchildren. Two live in New South Wales, my grandson lives in Queensland and my other grandson lives in Darwin. They all came here when I turned 100. It was very special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy birthday: Evelyn Nunn celebrated her 102nd birthday at the Wooryal Lodge on Sunday, April 19, surrounded by friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
