Our wonderful mother, Patricia, died peacefully at Bedhampton Court Nursing Home on Monday 1st June 2026, aged 85. Throughout her life she was full of energy and enthusiasm, and enjoyed exploring many interests. Patricia was devoted to her family and friends, loved meeting new people and she was an active member of a wide range of groups. It was only in the last few years of her life that she was slowed down by an illness; a combination of diabetes and dementia. Patricia will be hugely missed by so many.
A funeral service will be taking place at Havant Crematorium (the Oaks) on Tuesday 14th July 2026 at 10.45am. It was Patricia's wish for people to dress in bright colours, but please feel free to wear whatever you are comfortable in.
A celebration of her life will be held afterwards at Emsworth Sailing Club, starting around 12:30pm. All are welcome.
Should you wish to do so, Donations can be made directly to St Wilfrid's Hospice. Patricia was a longtime supporter of this charity, which her late father, John Staniforth, helped establish. Please use the link above.
