One sister, two brothers, seven nieces and nephews, 18 great nieces and nephews and 14 great great nieces and nephews helped mark Ms Kesby’s 90^th birthday.

Originally born in Kempsey, her family moved to Junee during the depression.

Ms Kesby is the oldest living member of the family.

Her father was a driver on the railway and during her youth she was a keen golfer and is still a life member of the club.

She worked as a buyer for Meagher’s Shoe Shop travelling around to locate the best stock.

While now a resident of Cooinda Court Ms Kesby said there was no better place to be looked after.

“Cooinda Court is a great place, I wouldn’t want to leave Junee,” she said.

“Thanks to all the people who have sent letters of congratulations and support.”
