It was a milestone marked by laughter, memories, as Sylvia Ometa Maxwell, affectionately known to family and friends as “Aunt Sylvia,” celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by loved ones.

The centenary marks an extraordinary achievement for the family, representing the fourth time a relative has crossed the 100-year milestone and the second this year for nephew — and noted regional pollster — Peter Wickham.
