No matter what the activity, Resthaven Marion resident Mrs Alice (Joan) Hasse, always had a natural ability when it comes to pursuing her interests.
Joan, who turned 100 on 15 November, has tried her hand at China painting, dressmaking, gardening, gourmet cooking and painting – excelling at them all, each individually, in turn.
Often the feature artist at different art exhibitions, Joan’s paintings were well regarded by those in the Fleurieu art scene where she made a name for herself while living at Aldinga. Some of these pieces now hang in her room at Resthaven Marion.
But, long before Aldinga and art, Joan was doing well at school, and then at work – proving her abilities across subjects and circumstances.
