Australian Woman Dora Caverson Turns 111

Dora Caverson, a resident of Dianella, Perth, Western Australia, celebrated her 111th birthday on 10 September.

Caverson was born as Dora Fridberg in Gorbals, Glasgow, Scotland, on 10 September 1914. As a young woman, she worked for Cunard Line, a British cruise liner and shipping company, and also travelled across Canada and the United States.

Returning to England, Caverson married her husband, Joe Reuben Caverson, in 1954. Their son Stephen was born the following year. Caverson also brought up her stepdaughter, Ruth. The family later relocated to South Africa. Caverson was widowed after only 13 years of marriage, emigrating to Perth, Australia, in the 1980s to be near her son.
