Funerals Francis UREN (85) A Service of Thanksgiving Jan 16th Wesley Rock Wesley Rock was full to bursting to celebrate Francis’ life. Slides were shown of him as man and boy, great hymns were sung and a variety of speakers covered various aspects of his life, brother John giving us the main details. Francis was a multi-faceted man – preacher, local historian, lecturer, agriculturalist and above all, friend. As well as his dedication to Wesley Rock, Francis had been for a long time an attender of the midweek communion service at St Thomas’. We shall miss his sense of humour as well as his gentle wisdom.
Patricia Julian (90) January 23rd St Thomas, Heamoor Pat and Frank had designed and built their own house next to Polmennor Chapel in Heamoor. They lived there for a number of years prior to moving up country and then back to Alexandra Road in more recent years. Pat had had a full and varied life, at one time working in Middlesex for Warner Brothers on film scripts. She was intelligent and a natural public servant, assisting in the establishment of the Penzance- Cuxhaven twinning. She was also a strong swimmer and won many cups in the 30s. She was a good mother and a good neighbour, practical and without self-publicity or fuss. A gentle lady but with a firm resolve and a firm faith which still shone through her last difficult months in Ponsondane.
Kathleen OSBORNE (97) Gulval January 27th Kathleen was born into a farming family and spent much of her life on a farm. She was born in Madron parish but moved to Georgia and was educated at Nancledra School and then the Girls County School. She was married to William for over 70 years, the first wedding at Nancledra Chapel; she worshipped there till the chapel closed, moving then to Hellesveor and then to Gulval. Her faith came out strongly with her cheerfulness, gentleness and patience, especially in her final illness, which she characteristically made little of.
Dora CARE (91) St Ives February 3rd Dora came to us from St Ives a few years back and became part of our St Thomas’ midweek communion. Ill-health forced her into St Mary’s Haven and then Cornwallis Nursing Home in St Ives; sadly she was not well enough to be able to appreciate that she had come home. In her time she had been a multi-talented artistic person and a dedicated church worker. She was also a generous and tender-hearted person.
Alan BEAZELEY (70) Gulval February 10th A tribute to Alan from John Parker appears elsewhere in this magazine.
