Lanes Retirement Living
38 Main Street A2H 4A1 Irishtown, VIC, Australia

Our staff, residents and family members from across the province would like to wish Lanes Carbonear resident Hazel Yetman a very happy 100th birthday. Born November 18th, 1920 in Harbour Grace, this wonderful lady has seen it all. From the hardship of the Great Depression of 1920, to the Grand Bank earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 1929, life was not always easy. In 1932, Hazel was present when Amelia Earhart arrived in Harbour Grace; beginning her historic trans-Atlantic ...solo flight just hours later. During World War II, Hazel was knitting socks to support the war effort, and she was also witness to the Water Street fire that struck the town in 1944. Hazel is mother to six children, grandmother to 13, great-grandmother to 11, and great-great-grandmother to five. Her kindness and strength are an inspiration to her family, and the residents and staff at Lanes, and she is a joy to know and to spend time with. Celebrations for Hazel's special day this year will be more subdued due to current COVID-19 restrictions. Staff and residents will gather inside the building, while members of Hazel's family gather outside. To help make this day even more memorable, we are asking each of you to send Hazel some birthday cheer and good wishes via this post, and to like and share this page with others you know. Happy birthday Hazel. Enjoy your special day! You've certainly earned it. The Lanes Team

Yesterday we got crafty here in Irishtown. We made sunflowers. We do many crafts here but not all of them always turn out the way we hope. I'm happy to report that these sunflowers turned out better than we expected. Great job ladies!
