Coffee Morning and Community Library notes…

Many of you who read these notes, in print or electronically, may not know that Anna King is no longer amongst us. She passed away after a short illness on 21st August.

I feel very lucky that I met her when she chose to join our then newly formed book group a few years ago. Anna was unassuming, interesting, knowledgeable and, for me (Vivien) it has been a joy and an education to be alongside her at the Community Library for the five years it has been running. 

Anna so enjoyed chatting to our borrowers and geting to know many who were new to her, although she has lived in Pett Level for a very long time. Anna instigated a little 'show and tell' corner where 'lockdown' crafters could show off what they had been making and we were always impressed with Anna's 'animals', be they toys, gloves, book covers and more. This year, Coffee Morning fell on St David's Day and Anna displayed her Welsh national costume which, of course, she had made and was rightly proud of.

Anna, dear friend, we miss you.

There was a Direct Cremation and Anna's ashes will be interred at a future date, to be confirmed, at Jordans Quaker Meeting House in Buckinghamshire, when there will be a celebration of her life.
