Bingo fan and world's oldest bridesmaid dies
ONE of Medway's oldest citizens, and fan bingo, has died at the age of 106.
She was known for having a great zest for life and celebrated her 106th birthday last year playing bingo at the Gala bingo Club in Strood.
In March this year she found herself in the Guinness Book of Records for being the oldest bridesmaid in the world when she was an attendant at her great-granddaughter's wedding.
She was also the oldest customer at Specsavers opticians, in Chatham, and when she was 105, she was given her glasses free as a gift.
Manager Anthony Jordan said: "Staff here are very sad to hear Edith has passed away.
Matt Yeo, assistant manager at Gala Bingo, added: "Edith celebrated several of her birthdays here. Most of our bingo staff knew her and liked her very much. She will be missed by us all."
"She said she didn't like people saying they were bored, she said there was always something to do. She really did have a great zest for life and always said she'd been lucky at bingo."
