She was in her mid 80s and Nigel lived with her after Nanna's daughter, his mother died, so she had a huge role in his life. Nigel will miss her.
Rest in Peace, Nanna.
She had been a Land Army girl during WW11. She and her husband Ron had been married for almost 60 years when he died. They had two children, Wendy who was Nigel's mother and who died of breast cancer, and Valerie who survives her. When I last saw her, she felt those losses keenly. At her age, its not a tragic death, but it is sad because she meant so much to so many people. I think she was ready to go Home and I'm glad she is no longer suffering, but people will feel her loss as she was a straightforward, good, honest, salt of the earth sort of person who cared about her family and who was good to them. There was a mischievous twinkle in her eye and she enjoyed a good laugh.
Rest in Peace, Nanna dear.
