Celebrating 99 Years Covid Style.
Estelle Rowles, of St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Edgerton,
celebrated 99 years on Monday, April 27.
Estelle has been a long time member of both St. Mary’s and
Edgerton. Generally, the community gathers
for coffee and cake at the local Oasis.
This year that could not happen.
Estelle’s daughter, Darnell Symington, arranged with the local mayor,
Wendy Belik, for a drive-by tribute to celebrate this milestone. The line of traffic was blocks long. Fire trucks and and a RCMP car brought up the rear with lights
flashing and sirens going. Estelle stood at the end of
her driveway (she still lives in her own home) with friend and
helper, Lee Perkins. Lee took pictures
of each vehicle as it drove by with birthday wishes for Estelle.
