Tatiania Eglevsky

‘Tania’ died on December 31, aged 86 years. She was a much loved and well-known figure in Walton Crescent, who was very generous to her friends. Born in Russia, she left, aged three, with her mother and brother as a refugee and grew up in France. The family moved to London where Tania once made corsets for the Queen. After they moved to Oxford, Tania worked in the Bodleian Library. Tania had many interesting tales. She loved the university life and would go to the boat races and the post-exam celebrations.The Orthodox Church gave her a good send off. She would have been delighted with the singing. We shall all miss her.
