Dorrit’s still burning bright

THERE’S little sign that recent-centenarian Dorrit Blaze’s fires are dimming.
At her 100th birthday party on 28 October, a beaming Ms Blaze was feted as someone who is still active with her church and the organiser of annual Christmas carols at her home at Valley Village Mews retirement village in Dandenong.
Ms Blaze has been a resident at the village since it opened, telling attendees it had been a “lovely place” to have lived in for the past 28 years.
She lives independently, with a little help from a carer.
