Dorothy Willis is a cousin of Patrick Kervin and she grew up on one of the dairy farms in the Cohuna area. Although she has lived most of her life in Essendon she still regards herself as a Cohuna girl. She is one of those people who is vitally interested in everything going on around her and has been fully involved with her family, church and charitable groups in her area. Although frail, she is still relatively sharp so her 100th birthday was a big affair that filled the function room of the local RSL (where she worked as a volunteer for Legacy) People travelled from interstate and there was a large group from the Cohuna area in attendance.
The cake was appropriate for the occasion. Happy Birthday Dorothy.
During the afternoon I discovered I had gone through Uni with one of her sons. Dorothy was a great support for Claire when she prepared and published a History of the Kervins 30 years ago.
