In Loving Memory of

Mum was very loving, emotional, unconventional, funny, immensely caring and a great cuddler. She had lots of friends and family and as we can’t physically have many people attending the funeral service we thought it would be a nice idea if people could leave messages or memories of a fun time with Mum or a funny anecdote. We want to celebrate her life and remember the good times.

If you have any photos from any time in her life please could you also add them to this online book.

Many thanks her daughters Gail and Clare

I met Sue through U3A when she moved to Northampton. Sue was empathetic, interesting and had a brilliant sense of humour. Sue took Surekha and myself to art galleries in London and Birmingham, she was so knowledgeable but it was the laughter, and there was always laughter, that I will always remember. You …

I first met Sue, in 1961, another student nurse at the Westminster Chridrens Hospital. We were very lucky, as a few of us lived in accommodation directly opposite the hospital, instead of the Nurses home. We became a tight knit group of friends, always there to laugh, to enjoy, and support one another. Sue …

We met as student nurses in 1961 & shared many years of friendship together. Sue was kind, generous and fun loving but had a very serious, deep intellectual side as well making her a very cerebral friend. We spent our off duty time, visiting galleries & exhibitions & sorting out the world in the …
