A GREENFIELD woman has died just two days after her 101st birthday.
Alice Evans last year told the Chronicle how staying young at heart and mind was the key to longevity.
The middle of five daughters of Alice and William Dronsfield, Alice won a scholarship to Oldham Grammar School, but had to leave and start work in a mill in Delph after her father died.
In 1938, she married the late Jim Evans, and went on to have a son, also Jim, who now lives in America. The great-grandmother regularly travelled the globe. A service and committal will be held at Dukinfield Crematorium on Monday at 1.30pm.
