We wish to express our gratitude for donations and collections in memoriam:

2020

Eileen Jackson Palmer 1930 – 2020

Eileen was a book-keeper by profession with a passion and talent for music.  While Dementia made numbers impossible it could never take music from her. She smiled and joined in when she heard it, tapping her feet to a beat until her final days. Her adventurous, athletic and whole-hearted life included mountain walking in Snowdonia, the Alps and the Pyrenees, usually with her four children in tow. Later, she played games tirelessly with her eight grandchildren while visiting her sons and daughter – even as some moved from the UK to Europe and the USA. Eileen was a vivacious brown-eyed beauty, deeply missed and loved forever by everyone she leaves behind.

Larry Carter 1933 – 2019

Larry Carter, a lover of the arts, accompanied his much loved wife Rosamund, to A4D ballet workshops at bbodance in 2016 and since 2017, Clay for Dementia workshops at the Garden Museum. Larry worked in a number of creative roles, including at the Royal College of Art (in his twenties) and as Creative Director on large campaigns at J. Walter Thompson. He later opened his own art gallery in King’s Road. Described by his family as ‘a true romantic’, he loved animals and was passionate about old movies. He was a real sport in applying himself to dance and ceramics!
