Doris (Dolly) Walsh

On 6 March, we lost a very dear lady. Doll, aged seventy seven died at Brackley Cottage Hospital after a long illness. Bill and Dolly had been together for fifty five years of which the happiest times were spent at Cedar Bungalow, Falcutt, for the last fifteen years.

We remember Dolly for her wonderful attitude to life, be it human or animal. Her many recipes for medicines for all ailments will always stay with us, weird and wonderful as they were.

Even in her sixties she was still young enough to enjoy a fame of cricket in the field with our family and her grandchildren. Her love of all animals was almost legendary, whether it be cat, dog, cow or lamb, she loved them all.

Our lasting memory of Dolly was not of illness, but sitting in her armchair enjoying her life with Bill, with us and all of her many friends who used to visit. This world is a sadder place without her and she will be missed immensely by all her family and friends.
