Three years ago Bradford’s then Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Joanne Dodds, visited her at Bierley Court Care Home to help mark her 100th birthday.

Born in Liverpool, Gertie came to Bradford as a girl and worked in the mills while living in the Otley Road area.

She married Joseph Ormondroyd in February 1934 at St Augustine’s Church.

They had eight children, including one who went on to live in Australia.
