In Memory - Dorothy Molly Davies
I am sorry to have to post that I read of the death of Dorothy tonight.
She passed away on 29th May 2011 and will be buried at Templeton Church on 4th June.
We spent much time together at school and kept in touch for quite a few years afterwards.
We had also become re-acquainted before our 2007 Reunion and Dorothy was able to attend our last Reunion in 2009.
Below is Dorothy's Obituary from the Western Telegraph of 29th June 2011:
MISS DOROTHY MOLLY DAVIES
(Known as Dee) NARBERTH
A large gathering attended the funeral service at St. John’s Church Templeton on June 4th, to pay respects and celebrate the life of Miss Dorothy Molly Davies (known affectionately as Dee).
Dee was born at the Rising Sun Farm, Templeton on July 9th 1956. Her love of children determined at an early age where her career would take her. She attended Templeton C.P. School and Whitland Grammar School, before continuing her education at Hereford College of Education where she obtained a B.Ed. Degree. She then spent a year in Denmark, teaching English, prior to her first teaching appointment at Tavernspite C.P. School. From there, she progressed to Deputy Head at St. Aidans V.A. School and later was promoted to Head Teacher at the same school.
Dee retired early due to ill health approximately five years ago. After her retirement she did voluntary work with the Red Cross and was always more than ready to help friends and family.
She was the much loved daughter of Mavis and the late Hubert Davies and sister of Ruth and Stephen. Dee’s whole life existed around her work as a teacher. She would go to no end of trouble to help any child with any problem.
The service was conducted by the Rev. Peter Lewis, assisted by Rev. Michael Rowlands. The organist was Mrs. Norma Lewis. Because Rev. Michael Rowlands had known Dee for many years, it was he who paid tribute to the vast contribution Dee had made to education within the county. He emphasised that Education in Pembrokeshire would be the poorer for her passing.
Principal mourners were Mrs Mavis Davies (mother); Ruth and Steven Price (sister and brother-in-law); Stephen and Debbie Davies (brother and sister-in-law); Amy, Adam and Lauren Davies (nieces and nephew); Molly and Ron Cook (aunt and uncle); Matthew and Robert Cook (cousins); Mrs Joan Cole (Mr Fred Cole unable to attend); Michael, Nigel, Nicola, Melanie, Shirley Cole, Pam and Gwyn Thomas (cousins); Irene, Lance and Judy Davies.
The bearers were Robert May, Lyndon Belt, Rhys Davies and Michael Bowen.
There were family flowers only but donations, if desired, may be made to St. John’s Church, Templeton or the Intensive Care Unit at Withybush Hospital, Haverfordwest c/o Mrs. Mair Bowen, Menai House, Station Road, Kilgetty, Pembs.
In Memory - Hugh Salmon
Hugh Llewellyn Salmon, who died on February 20, 2015, aged 59 years, after a long protracted fight against a failing heart, was a well-known, well-liked and much loved veterinary surgeon. He owned and worked at Wolfgar Veterinary Practice in Cheriton Bishop, Devon.
Hugh was a larger than life character who had the misfortune to suffer from a sudden cardiomyopathy in his late 50s. Hugh had a heart transplant at Papworth Hospital Cambridge and survived for several months after his operation but unfortunately died in 2015.
