b: 26 April 1921, 13 Chapel Fold, York, Yorkshire d. 19 March 2002, Airdale Hospital, Ilkley, W/Yks (Ag.80)
(Keen intelligence & a formidable general knowledge. A damaged heart (rheumatic fever as a young girl) and chronic back problems restricted physical activity but she greatly enjoyed reading, knitting, crochet work & crosswords and found personal fulfillment from her work with ALAC, Chapel Allerton Hospital, Leeds, after many years as a full-time wife & mother. An excellent traditional cook and a loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother and daughter. The desire to fulfill her dearest wish for knowledge of her two grandmothers (both ladies of mystery) was one of the prime motivators for tracing our family tree. Some of her oft used words of wisdom included: “You can’t put old heads on young shoulders”; “Don’t make a toil of a pleasure”; “Pull the other one—it’s got bells on”; “Don’t forget to drive between your toes”; “Do you think I came up on the Down Train?”; “It looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane”; “Beware of a man who’s mean with money because then he’ll be mean with everything else”… “I’m lucky in all the ways that really count”.)
