Joyce Dutton celebrated her 100th birthday in style.

Dutton, a resident at Chartwell Imperial Place Retirement Residence in Surrey, celebrated on Nov. 4 with a day full of balloons, an entertainer singing her favourite crooner songs, cake and champagne.

Some of her family from Kelowna were also able to help celebrate Dutton’s special day.

When asked how she felt about turning 100, Dutton said all she ever wanted to do was to live to 93, so she could say she finally beat her dad at something.

A beloved resident at Imperial Palace, organizers said they were honoured to have been able to share the special occasion with Dutton.
