Val French

Val's funeral took place at St. Barnabas on January 15. Val was born in Juxon Street and lived most of her life there or in Mount Street. She devoted her life to her family and when you met her, you were immediately conscious not only of her friendliness and kindness but also of her determination and energy. All this was put to the test when her daughter Joanne was seriously injured. Val devoted herself to enabling Joanne to recover and to securing her future. For the past 20 years Val worked at St. Luke's nursing home and continued to go three times a week even when she herself was ill. We extend our sympathy to her father, her husband, sisters, children and grandchildren.
