Rosemary Gatward 1937 to 2020 Many people in Melbourn and surrounding villages will remember Rosemary, who sadly died in February and whose funeral was held at All Saints’ Church, on February 19th, conducted by Rev Mary Price, with the eulogy delivered by Rev Andrew O’Brien, the former Vicar of All Saints’ and Holy Trinity. Rosemary lived in Meldreth with her parents and younger sister Helena. She met Douglas at Bennetts Motor Works in Baldock where they were both working. They married in All Saints’ and had three children, Jane, Richard and Rebecca. In 1966 Rosemary started the All Saints’ Playgroup, remembered fondly by many children, now grown up, and by their children. Rosemary served for many years on the Parish Council, and was Chairman herself. She was also a Governor of Melbourn Primary School for 30 years, and a Churchwarden for 20. She was involved with the building of the new All Saints’ Community Hall and the Hub for the Parish Council. She also ran the Christmas Bazaar and, with Rebecca the Flower Festival. Rosemary and Doug were a great team and supported and looked after each other. Our deepest sympathy goes to her family Rosemary will be sadly missed, not only by her family, but by all of us who knew her. She will not be forgotten.
