June Martin MBE
30th April 1926 - 3rd July 2020
This page will be updated with information about remembrance services.
The Daily Telegraph published an obituary on Tuesday 7th July - an extended text version is currently online here.
There was a private, invitation-only service at Easthampstead Park near Wokingham on 20th July 2020, with numbers limited to 20. Click here to download a PDF of the funeral sheet.
It has been suggested we hold a remembrance service in months to come, once restrictions are further relaxed, but I do not want to encourage anything which may put what is likely to be a predominantly elderly audience at risk of cross-infection - nor do I want to have to wait until (for example) next year when it may no longer seem relevant.
For any other enquiries please mail me Vicki Martin (daughter) at vickimartin52@btinternet.com

Below: filmed in December 2019, here is some 'living history' from mum, talking about her memories of the pub 'The Brewers Arms' which her grandfather was landlord of, in Ipswich, as a young girl.
a remarkable lady
“June was a remarkable lady,
as many people will have told you. June did give so much voluntary service to the community helping others over many, many years.”
