BURY social services staff have said a fond farewell to senior home carer Vera Nelson.
The 62-year-old, who had overseen a 15-strong team, has retired after working for the local authority for the past 28 years. Mrs Nelson, who lives in Radcliffe, had responsibility for home care staff.
A surprise retirement party for the mother-of-three was held at the Wellington pub in Bury and was attended by her colleagues. She was presented with a vacuum cleaner, vouchers and other gifts from staff who described Mrs Nelson as someone they highly respected and would be missed.
