Geoffrey SAUNBY

It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on Wednesday 21st May 2025 of ex Sgt 371 Geoffrey SAUNBY, 93 years.  His next of kin is his wife Mrs Janet Elizabeth Saunby. Geoff as he was known had been living with mild dementia, had a chest infection requiring a hospital stay and after complications died peacefully with Janet by his side.

Geoff retired from the Police in 1987 having served at Chesterfield and Derby finishing in the Comms. Room, Derby.  He married Janet in the same year.  He then became a County Court Bailiff until retiring when he was 62.  Members will remember his wife Janet Roebuck as WPC 1790 at Derby.

His funeral has been arranged for 12.30pm on Wednesday 25th June 2025 at Derby Crematorium, Markeaton Lane, Derby.  Family flowers only. Afterwards at the Great Northern, Station Road, Mickleover, Derby DE3 9FB.
