We were very sad to announce the passing of our Mum and Nanny, Edna Chapman, after a short illness on Thursday 16th February.

Our beloved Grandma, Jean Wilby, passed away in January at the amazing age of 95.

In particular she supported Christian Aid through her church.
Marie was a very special and much-loved wife, mum, mum-in-law, "Nanma" and "Great Nanma" to her growing family. She will also have touched many lives through her years of primary school teaching all over the country. She never forgot her Kingsteignton roots and was a very proud Devonian.
Jim cared deeply about helping others, especially those he saw as less fortunate than him. He would always lend a hand or work quietly behind the scenes making 'stuff happen'.My favourite memory will always be of Jim wrestling with Sam and Luke. Or closing the door on them whenever they arrived!
He regularly helped with the Christian Aid Lunches, that our mother coordinated at Westgate Church in Peterborough, every summer. Putting out tables, welcoming strangers and sharing stories. This ecumenical project involved lots of local churches and raised in excess of £5000 each year.

Arthur was one of life's very special people. He loved everyone, never judged and worked tirelessly for his local church and for people less fortunate than himself. Christian Aid especially was very dear to him. The world would be a much better place with a few more Arthur's in it.
It has been three years since our Andrew died. We think of him every day and miss him so much. He has left us with so many wonderful memories and these keep us going.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing away of Gene peacefully in her sleep at the Lister Hospital on March 11th, just five days short of her 96th birthday. She was a loving and much loved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, great aunt, and sister. She is greatly missed by all her family.
Avril dedicated much of her life to helping and counselling others at difficult times in their lives. Now we would like any donations made in her name to do the same. Avril was keen that when donating money to charity the money be used directly to help others in need.
Mary was my aunt, she was the eldest of 3 sisters- the 3 degrees! As a child she loved to read and often could be found with her head in a book! She enjoyed weekly Sunday walks with her sisters and her father- locally in Dumbarton. Once married she brought up a family of 4 whilst helping to run the family business.
