Bronwen Davies
1st April 1945 – 27th May 2021
I first knew Miss Davies about 35 years ago when she taught my sons at Fairfield Junior School. She frightened the life out of me, but the children loved her. I recall a warm June afternoon, school sports day when ‘Miss’ was shouting at children to join in various races and organising them. However, she had brought along her two little dogs, Mitzi and Tara, and the children took turns at looking after them, and really enjoyed the afternoon.
About ten years later I met Bron as a fellow member of Widnes Soroptimist Club. She became a very active member and particularly enjoyed the social functions. We regularly held events with a shared table and Bron was renowned for trays of egg sandwiches, but was also a very good cake maker. She introduced the Club to trips out to Tatton to listen to the Halle Orchestra for the Firework and Light Show and last night at the Proms and would organise the trips. She was President of the Club on two occasions and stepped in on a third occasion when regrettably a close friend Anne Brewer died when she was the current President.
For a number of years she was the Captain of the Club Bowls Team and although we never managed to win a tournament, we were well known for our hospitality, and again Bron would prepare large trays of egg sandwiches and cake.
Bron was a friend to many members of the club she arranged film nights at her home, and arranged trips to the cinema and theatre, her great favourite was Andrew Rieu. She took members to hospital appointments and called on a fellow club member, Betty Locket several times a week as she became frailer and kept in touch with Betty’s family. Regrettably we lost Betty earlier this year.
Bron was well liked and loved by many people and it was my pleasure to have been her friend.
