MRS MARIE MILLER

 

It was with great sadness that the parish heard of the death of Marie Miller towards the end of January. Marie faithfully served the parish for many years in almost every role that you could expect in the life of a parish.  She was faithful housekeeper to my predecessor, Father Lawton and up until her death visited him regularly at Nazareth House.

In the latter years of Father Lawton's illness that eventually led to his retirement as Parish Priest, Marie faithfully kept the parish going.  Marie could be relied upon to sort things out: arrange supply priests, deal with undertakers for funerals, see parents wanting their children baptised, talk to couples who were planning to be married.  You name it and Marie was there at the fore to lend a helping hand.

She will be sadly missed in the parish and beyond not just for her work at St Marie's but also for the many kindnesses that she showed to people over the years.

 

MAY SHE REST IN PEACE AND RISE IN GLORY
