It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death, at home, on the 20th August 2022 of Mrs Margaret Elizabeth WHITWORTH, 80 years, after a short illness. Her next of kin is her husband ex C/Insp. 164 Peter Whitworth.
Members will probably remember Margaret as she worked the Canteen at Headquarters and Alfreton and relieved at Cotton Lane, for many years. She also worked in Headquarters Bar. As per Margaret’s instructions there will be no funeral, as this will be by Direct Cremation. Sean Murphy (Secretary)
