101 reasons to celebrate a ‘True Northamptonian Lady’

Betty is an amazing lady, a true native of Northampton having lived in the same house in Seymour Street where she was born, until June 2023. She spent all of her working life at the Co-op office in the town with the exception of the war years, where she played her part in women's branch of the British Army; The Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS).

Sadly, now living with impaired vision her resilience never wains, she, alongside her fellow resident, and best friend within the home; Mavis are always the first up and ready to take part in the many activities on offer within the home.
