Gertrude Millbank, who was born in North Battleford and is still here a century later, celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends Jan. 21. She proudly displays her letter for congratulations from Queen Elizabeth II. Among other accomplishments, Millbank has been a member of Beta Sigma Phi for 67 years and remains an active member. Her parents, Lydia and Ralph Salzgeber founded Milbanke Flowers, which she took over in 1938 and ran until her daughter Louise and husband Howard Libbey took up the reins in 1964. She continued to work there as a floral designer until just a few years ago. Her grandson Glen and his wife Cindy Libbey are now the current owners of Milbanke Flowers. Photo submitted
