Suddenly at her home on 10th June 2024, Kath aged 66 years of Rishton, Mum of Claire, Ben and Jenny, grandma of Dan, Darcey and Sebastian, sister of Jean, auntie of Rachel and Gary and a relative and friend to many.

A well known face in the local community, Kath was the most devoted and hardworking GP Receptionist working at the Weavers Practice, Great Harwood and former practice manager at The High Street Surgery, Rishton where she was loved by her fellow colleagues and the patients visiting the surgery. She was super organised and had the office running like clockwork and at home she was the most house proud lady and her home was always immaculate. Kath always looked forward to visits from her grandchildren and she enjoyed going out to lunch with her friends and she always looked forward to a spot of shopping. At home Kath loved nothing more than settling down to watch her favourite soap, Coronation Street, she also enjoyed films and her go to movie was Pretty Woman and she loved listening to Motown music.

    I was so sad to read of Kaths passing. I am a patient at The Weavers Practice and she was always lovely with me. Her approach on the phone or at the Practice was just what patients needed. Sending my condolences to the family.
