The sad news that Marguerite has died, at home in Norwich, was passed on to us by Annette Conn. She had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.
Marguerite joined HMSO Norwich in November 1972, working in HR and Business Supplies. She was promoted HEO in 1988. Her home town was Howth, in the Republic of Ireland, and she was eager to point out places of local interest – which they certainly were – to a group of HMSO visitors, of whom I was one, some 25 years ago.
Annette added later: EDP notice: FINN Marguerite, passed away at home on June 17th aged 78 years. Marguerite will be greatly missed by all her family and friends. Funeral service to take place at Earlham Crematorium on Monday, July 25th at 11.00 am.
It is intended to have a Requiem Mass and celebration of Marguerite’s life later in the year.
Family flowers only please, but donations in lieu, if desired, may be made to: WILPF, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and sent c/o Gordon Barber Funeral Home, Church Lane, Eaton, Norwich NR4 6NZ
A priest will conduct the short service at Earlham with refreshments at the Narthex, St John’s Cathedral afterwards.
Anyone who would like to come please contact me so that we can have numbers for the Narthex catering.
