Ms Lee said the Gibson matriarch recently turned 100 and was excited to meet the newest addition to the family.
“Rose was born in South Australia, but grew up in the South West of WA and then moved to Perth with her husband and (two) boys in the 1940s, where she settled in Joondanna,” she said.
“She moved into her Aegis Low Care Residence in Yokine, which she has called home for the past five years.”
The Gibson family now spans five living generations across 100 years.
