The sad news that Barbara has died, in the James Paget Hospital, on 18 January 2021 came from Dorothy Sellar via Marilyn Nisbet. She had successfully gone through a hip operation following a fall but subsequently contracted pneumonia.
Barbara joined HMSO Norwich in December 1968 and was promoted Personal Secretary in 1977. I knew her mainly when she worked to Jim McDonald in the mid-1990s when she was involved with the numerous meetings and correspondence regarding Privatisation. She was always approachable, helpful, calm and efficient.
The photograph shows her during a rare break in the Sovereign House canteen.
