Phyllis celebrates her 100th birthday

Phyllis was born on June 28, 1920 to parents Nellie and Ernest Greenwood in Hebden Bridge. As a girl she attended Mytholm School.

She married Arthur Jackson on January 17, 1945. Together they had four children Michael, Derek, Kathryn and Margaret and lived in Brearley for 56 years.

Phyllis became a widow in 2000 and went to live at Elphaborough, Mytholmroyd in 2009 until she was flooded out on Boxing Day 2015 when she moved to Rastrick to be nearer to her eldest son. She has eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Sadly, due to current restrictions, she is unable to have a party but family and friends will gather together as soon as it is possible to celebrate this milestone birthday.
