Wendy Gwilt - Rickmansworth 284 - 12th February 2008
It is with great sadness that I write to you on behalf of Rickmansworth Tangent No: 284 about our sad loss of Wendy Gwilt who died on 12th February 2008. Wendy was diagnosed with cancer some years ago but seemed to be well on the road to a full recovery but after a very short and sudden illness lost her fight.
She was a very private person who transferred to Rickmansworth from Waterlooville in the early 80s. She held the office of Area Secretary in 1985 and contributed greatly to our small club. She had a fantastic flare for design and art. We enjoyed several evenings at her house when she tried to introduce us into making table decorations, cards, bow for our Christmas presents as well as folding napkins, she made it all look so easy.
We will all miss her greatly and send our thoughts to her husband John.

HEMEL HEMPSTEAD 398 JENNY GEDDES
Jenny’s untimely and relatively sudden passing on 16th January has left a deep feeling of loss amongst her many friends in Hemel Tangent. She fought her illness stoically and with determination.
Few people can have made such an impact among her friends and acquaintances as Jenny by being so quiet, unassuming and always there for everyone. We will greatly miss not only her friendship but also her culinary and catering skills. Her delicious cakes, all beautifully and intricately decorated, have helped mark many Circler and Tangent ‘do’s’ and many member’s special occasions. It was a measure of the regard people held for her that so many past and present members of Hemel Circle and Tangent travelled from around the country to be at her funeral.
Jenny joined Hemel Hempstead Ladies Circle in 1970 and Tangent in 1978. She was Circle Chairman in 1976/7 and Tangent Chairman in 1984/85.
Our deepest sympathies are with her husband Mike, daughters Alison and Sarah, their partner and husband, and her granddaughter Rachel of whom she was very proud.
