Wellington woman dies aged 102
PA Wellington One of Wellington’s oldest citizens, Mrs Cecelia Anderson, has died less than a month before her 103rd birthday. She died on Saturday at the Woburn Presbyterian Home in Lower Hutt after failing health over the past few weeks. Bom in Newtown in 1883, Mrs Anderson is survived by three of her four children and 38 grand and great-grandchildren. Her grandparents were aboard the ship Aurora
which brought the first citizens to Petone in 1840. Her father, George Carter, was born in Petone shortly after. Mrs Anderson and her husband, August, were the first couple to be married at St Peter’s Church in Palmerston North, just after the turn of the century. They moved to Lower Hutt in 1927 where Mr Anderson worked as a landscape gardener. When interviewed on her 102nd birthday Mrs Anderson said she had had a wonderful life.
