December 4, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondai resident Margery Hutton was joined by family members and friends at the Wondai Hotel at the weekend to celebrate her 100th birthday.<\/p>\n

The big family celebration was held on Saturday, with about 75 people joining in; while Margery enjoyed a smaller morning tea on Sunday (her actual birthday) with friends.<\/p>\n

Margery, nee Freeman, was born in Miles but grew up on a soldiers settlement farm in Theodore.<\/p>\n

Son Neil told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> his mother went to school at St Ursula’s in Yeppoon, but left early to become a teacher.<\/p>\n

“It was during the war and she was pulled out because there was a shortage of male teachers,” Neil said.<\/p>\n

She taught at a one-teacher school at Kogan.<\/p>\n

When she married Les Hutton, the rules at the time meant Margery had to stop teaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The couple raised four sons: John, Max, Drew and Neil.<\/p>\n

“Mum and Dad had a butcher shop in Chinchilla,” Neil said.<\/p>\n

When the rules relaxed, Margery went back to teaching, this time in Chinchilla.<\/p>\n

After the couple retired, they moved to Toowoomba and then later Wondai, where two of their sons were living.<\/p>\n

Les died in 2002.<\/p>\n

These days, Margery lives at The Laurels in Wondai.<\/p>\n
