This site is a tribute to Tess.  She was a much loved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and auntie, who will be missed by all of her family and friends.

Tess lived with dementia in her final years and in her unfailing style and character she bore this cruel disease with strength and dignity. Throughout her life, Tess always believed in happy childhoods and, where she could, she would always do her utmost to make sure children close to her had happy experiences. She loved children very much. Therefore, we have chosen the charities Dementia UK and The Children's Society, for anyone who wishes, to make a donation to in her memory.
