It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our Regional Editor and Associate Member, Patricia Painting on Friday 29th November.
Patricia was SI Croydon’s Club Secretary, and President from 2008 to 2010. After leaving the Club and becoming an associate member she continued to support many social events, regularly attended the Regional meetings, and enthusiastically took on the task of producing and editing our monthly SEE Regional Newsletter.
At the time of her passing she was busy working on producing the November edition of the Newsletter which would have been the 62nd edition since she had taken on the role of Regional Editor in 2018. We were particularly proud of the SEE News. Past Federation President Maureen Maguire commented about a recent edition, ‘ What a variety of service, fun and friendship that is going on in this Region. I have just read their Regional Newsletter and thoroughly enjoyed it. A mixture of everything, congratulations to all the contributors.’
Patricia was also a member of Croydon Rotary Club and regularly volunteered at PACE (Purley and Coulsdon Club for the Elderly).
We will miss her.
