Mary Keir's son Robert describes her as 'something of a miracle'.
She said: "I remember going to the chapel. My father was a deacon and my mother looked after things in communion."Mary's passion was music, and she enjoyed playing piano, so her father saved up to buy one second hand.At 21 she moved to Cardiff to work at Llandough Hospital."There was nothing for me in the village."
She believes the key to her long life was staying busy: "I've always wanted to do something. We had a garden in Llansteffan and I loved gardening. I loved growing things. "After meeting husband Douglas, she moved to Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire, to work as a community nurse."She was nursing in Cardiff during the war at Llandough Hospital," the 70-year-old said.
