In a moving acknowledgement of loss and affection, this week’s obituaries published in the Lincolnshire Echo have offered touching tributes to treasured individuals from all over the county who have recently died. Each tribute, a firm testament to lives well-lived, will stay available online as a permanent memorial for family and friends.
Among those commemorated is Lorenzina Auckland, who died at Castle Hill Hospital. A beloved wife to Wayne, Lorenzina’s service of remembrance will take place at Grimsby Baptist Church, with donations being directed to Macmillan Cancer Support.
The community also says goodbye to Valerie Janice Best, affectionately known as Janice, who dedicated her career to cultivating young minds as a Deputy Head Teacher at Church Lane Primary School in Sleaford. Her family asks that, rather than sending flowers, donations be made to St Barnabas Hospice.
Vivienne Jane Effingham, warmly recollected by her family, will have her funeral service at Boston Crematorium. Donations made in her memory will benefit the Alzheimer’s Society.
Ruth Mary George, originally from Lincoln, is remembered by her family who gathered at Whitley Bay Crematorium. Donations to the RNLI are being encouraged as a tribute to her love for the sea.
Residents are mourning Shirley Gray, whose service will be held at Lincoln Crematorium, and Brian George Hodges, who will be honoured with donations addressed to St Barnabas Hospice.
Kath Lewin, who tragically died in her sleep, will be remembered at Lea Fields Crematorium, where her family invites attendees to wear a splash of colour in her memory.
John Edwin Reynolds will have his last farewell at Lincoln Crematorium, with donations recommended for St Barnabas Hospice, whilst Jean Roe’s service will take place at All Saints North Hykeham.
Others fondly remembered include Tony Seal of Firsby, Michael Leslie Suddaby of Caistor, Sandra Helen Taylor of Woodhall Spa, David Edward Wain of Lincoln, and Diana Mary Waller of Boultham Park; each is remembered for their distinctive contributions to both their families and the wider community.
These notices, published both online and in print, remind us of the profound connections within our Lincolnshire communities and the enduring legacy of those who have influenced our lives.
