Ruth Betts funeral
Many members attended and some who couldn't attend, due to other engagements including holidays, gave their apologies.
The burial was in a lovely woodland glade with a great many people from many organisations connected with Ruth.
Several
people gave a speech about Ruth's life. I gave a short speech on her
activities with TRC & also our own experiences walking with her.
Geoff and her family were wonderful throughout
After the coffin had been lowered into the ground we scattered flower petals on it.
We then adjourned to a marquee where refreshments were taken with a great deal of conversation
Several members asked about a donation in memory of Ruth and how to donate
There are 3 nominated funds to donate to a) The Greensand Trust b) HF Holidays c) Mountain Rescue. The club have donated to Scottish Mountain Rescue (not one of the 3)
These can be found on the Neville's website at https://www. nevillefuneralservice.com/ current-funerals/view/113280 where donations can be made.
