  I don`t know if anybody knew this lovely lady, who I first met some years ago via a freind who had known her for many years previously. She lived alone up in Beauxfield, Whitfield, and she suffered many year`s of pain with arthritis. She had a wonderful sense of humour, and a distinct cheerful laugh. She eventually went into a local care home at Temple Ewell, where I continued to visit her, but sadly, she died back in the 90s. The reason I`ve started this thread is due to me having a good sort out in the loft of things I`ve hoarded away over the years, and came across one of her lovely oil painting`s which she gave to me, and I`d forgotten all about. She loved wild flowers, and she was noted for doing her pressed flower greeting card`s.

  

  Did anyone else know her?

  I remember her from childhood. A well known figure in Whitfield.

  She went round in a wheelchair for sometime Andrew, and I did occasionally push her down the road when she wanted to get out. I still have some of her pressed flower cards, and used to take a few into her if I found any. She gave them all for a charity shop to sell. Again, a lovely lady, who I could have an enjoyable conversation with.

  She was a regular visitor at our house for a time.
