Allan and Jeanette Ellis celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on February 28 at Ashleigh House, Sale.
Staff organised a morning tea and cake to commemorate the momentous occasion, which was attended by close family members, residents, and Ashleigh House staff.
Mr and Mrs Ellis met at a dance at the St Kilda Town Hall in 1951 and were married at the St Kilda Anglican Church on February 28, 1953.
In 1965 the couple moved to Sale from East Ringwood with their four children, Chris, Mike, Jen and Jo, when Mr Ellis was promoted at PMG, now known as Telstra. Mr and Mrs Ellis have resided in Sale ever since.
The Ellis family extended sincere appreciation to the staff at Ashleigh House for the celebration, helping make Mr and Mrs Ellis’ 70th wedding anniversary a memorable occasion.
