DAPHNE MARY COLWELL
The expatriate community in Bangkok lost a pillar and friend on Tuesday, 28 June 2022, when Miss Daphne Mary Colwell passed away peacefully at Bangkok’s Bumrungrad Hospital from natural causes linked to old age. She was 92. Born in Symonds Yat in the West Midlands of England on 2 February 1930, she could never resist impishly pointing out that date was better known in North America as “Groundhog Day.” Daphne’s brother, Anthony (Tony) John Colwell, also born in Symonds Yat, predeceased her on 11 April 2010; his wife Anne died on 4 January 2021. The Colwells had three sons: Julian, David and Alex.
