Holy Trinity Thorpe Hesley was absolutely full as many WI members, plus family and friends came to celebrate the life of our wonderful WI Secretary for many years Jean Newbold. Revd Lynn Broadhead gave us a picture of Jean's varied and vibrant life whilst our President Mary spoke about her massive contribution to the WI over many years.
Jean is from the Hebrew meaning 'graceful, merciful, full of the exuberance of life'. 'She is passionate by nature and compassionate by inclination. Caring, kind and considerate, she spreads happiness wherever she goes' - How very true about our Jean.
In tribute to all Jean contributed to Thorpe Hesley WI it was our absolute privilege to be able to provide the refreshments after the service - I think Jean would have approved.
It also gave us the opportunity to chat about a truly remarkable lady.
