Anita, a club Vice President for many years, and her late husband Fred (former player and President), first came to the club in 1967 from Addiscombe, Surrey. Not only did Anita organise and prepare teas and cater for County games for 30 years, she always took a really keen interest in the club and all those associated with it up until her last visit in May.

The funeral is to be held at Woollensbrook Crematorium, Hoddesdon on Tuesday 25 August at 2.30pm and to meet afterwards at the cricket club to celebrate her life. Dress code – bright, colourful and summery.

We extend our sincere condolences to her two daughters, Lesley and Virginia, and their families.

A fine lady who will be greatly missed.
