The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A couple living in a Spalding care home together have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
Keith and Doreen Smith celebrated with their fellow residents at Fenchurch House Care Home in Spalding recently.
The couple enjoyed a day of celebrations with their family to mark the milestone anniversary, including a beautiful meal provided by the hospitality team at Fenchurch House
Keith and Doreen, pictured, first met at the Gliderdrome in Boston, and found that they shared a love of dancing, both of them were very good at jiving!
They married in Deeping St Nicholas on June 30, 1962 where they raised their daughter and spent time with their friends.
Keith had various jobs, but spent most of his working life at local manufacturers, Perkins Engines.
Doreen started off working in a shop and then on to Geest Line, a shipping company.
“We are delighted to share their Diamond Anniversary with Keith and Doreen and their family. The team at Fenchurch House went above and beyond to make their day special for them,” said home manager, Nike Ajewole.
“We’ve discovered that reaching your 60th Wedding Anniversary is actually very rare, with only around one per cent of married couples achieving this, making Keith and Doreen one in a million!”
