Doreen sadly passed away on 11th October. St Osmunds Church was filled with her family and friends at her funeral service held on 3rd November. A popular and well loved lady, Doreen gave so much to the village in terms of her time and energy. She was involved in many aspects of village life, serving as a Parish Councillor for fourteen years in addition to service as Trustee on the Village Hall Management Committee. In days gone by she was an active member of The Friends of St Osmunds, and a stalwart of village life. For many years, she ran the popular Whist Club Evenings and these will continue in her memory, run by her sisters and friends. Doreen was instrumental in establishing the well-used childrens’ play area at the village hall, and she loved to watch the little ones enjoying the swings and slide. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Donations in her memory may be made to the British Lung Foundation.
