Eleanor Annie Stephenson (Nellie) was born in Little Urswick in August 1918. Mrs Stephenson had two long and happy marriages to Horace Scott, of which she was married for 38 years, and John Richmond who she was married to for 23 years. The centenarian sadly died on April 2 at Furness General Hospital. Her cousin, Barbara Bennett, described her as much-loved by a wide circle of friends . She was indomitable right until the end, Mrs Bennett said. She really looked after herself and her house, and baked right up until she was 100 years old. She grew up with a big garden and her parents owned pigs, chickens, geese - so although the war was very hard, they never went hungry. She was always well looked after.
