Edna Neale has been waiting a long time for “her letter from the Queen” and it arrived earlier this week (along with numerous cards and congratulatory letters) in time for Enda’s 100th birthday today. Born in Glebe in 1922, Enda came to Cobar in 1948 with her husband Bill who took on the role of Roosters captain/coach. Cobar was where Edna raised her two children and then welcomed seven grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and nine great, great grandchildren into her family. Edna has always loved cooking, gardening and partying! The Lilliane Brady Village has been Edna’s home for the past three years and, after she missed out on a big birthday bash last year due to the COVID lockdown, Edna’s family and friends are making sure today’s celebrations will more than make up for that. Happy 100th birthday Edna!
