FIFTEEN club members attended a memorial service at St Peter’s Church, Bishop’s Waltham, for a former member and president Pam Simcock who died, aged 77, on September 11.<\/p>\n

Many Soroptimists. their families and friends, will remember the summer barbecues held in her beautiful garden. Pam designed the garden, which was for her a continuing source of delight. She and her husband Ken liked other people to be able to share their enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Pam was a person of enormous energy, enthusiasm and talent. She was a floral artist who won gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show in both floral art and garden design and later acted as a judge. She originally trained as a midwife and when she was club president she chose the Fistula Hospital in Addis Ababa as her charity. The club supported it for many years with blankets,shawls and other knitted items as well as financial donations.<\/p>\n

Pam’s table decorations were a feature of many of the club’s Annual Functions, including the 40th anniversary in the year of her presidency and she also gave talks and demonstrations on how to make garlands and table decorations in order to share her knowledge and expertise.
\nTo the end of her life she loved growing plants of all kinds; flowers for her were a continuing source of wonder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
