Avril died aged 43 in August last year. Avril was very much a Jericho girl. Her parents Charlie and Audrey lived in Great Clarendon Street opposite the old school. Her grandmother, Mrs. Smallbone, lived in Hart Street. Avril worked first in the Co-op in Walton Street and later in Cornmarket. In 1984 she married Barry and they had two sons Jason and Andrew. Later she moved to Northampton and subsequently to Kidlington where she was bringing up her young daughter Zoë. But she never forgot her roots in Jericho. Our sympathies to her family for her early death. But our admiration too for the way she faced that death.
