Elsie Sherburn turned 103 on September 20, surrounded by family and friends. Sherburn moved to Canada from England at age 15.
After her husband Ray’s retirement, the couple wintered in Florida and summered in Quebec. She lost Ray 26 years ago. When her daughter Linda and her spouse John chose to retire in Mexico in 2012, Sherburn made the decision to tag along with them.
She has another daughter, Peggy, living in Quebec, and son Jim in Thailand. Sherburn embraces all Mexico has to offer – the people, the traditions, the bright colors and constant good weather. She attributes her longevity to wonderful care from family and the staff at La Paloma where she now resides.
