Larchwood Care

A resident at Oake Meadows care home in Taunton has celebrated her 100^th birthday surrounded by family, friends and fellow residents.

Margot Komarnicka, known to everyone as Mrs K, marked the milestone with a party, and a card from the new King.

Born in Worcester and married three times, Mrs K has two children, three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. One of her loves was acting and amateur dramatics and another was travel. She headed out on a world cruise from Southampton at the age of 93 and returned at 94!

In her 70s and 80s Mrs K was a tour guide, including at Wells Cathedral where she worked between the ages of 84 and 91.

When asked what her tip was for living to 100, Mrs K smiled enigmatically!

Michelle Guest, activities co-ordinator at Oake Meadows said: “Mrs K is a great character and we were delighted to help her celebrate her 100^th birthday.

“She has obviously lived a very full and entertaining life, sailing the world and being a tour guide in her 90s. It was great to see family and friends enjoying the party with Mrs K and we’re looking forward to her 101^st birthday.”
