On returning to Freystrop in the '80s, she helped to motivate locals to renovate the village hall, re-joined the WI, and supported hospital campaigns and charity shops. She did have a fast mind and detailed memory. Her funeral was conducted by Rev Gillam, at the Middle Hill Congregational chapel, on Monday, January 31st.
