98th Birthday Celebrated, St Margaret’s, Peachland

A beloved member of St Margaret’s Parish in Peachland for some 68 years, Betty Sutherland, recently celebrated her 98th birthday.  Betty was married to her late husband, Earl, at St Margaret’s Anglican Church in the early days, and her children were baptised there as well. St. Margaret’s became the Anglican church in Peachland in 1908 and still stands beside our present day church today.  The tiny building welcomes tourists each year.

Betty still lives on the homestead orchard in Peachland and does exceedingly well on her own, with family close by. We had a lovely little celebration for Betty’s 98th Birthday, downstairs in our hall, where a tasty Birthday cake was served and we sang a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday To You.”  Good times, never to be forgotten and we wish you many more, dear Betty.
