Florrie Widger Sadly, Florrie died on June 25th aged 95. Many will remember her walking her little dog around the village. However, on retirement from the NAAFI she was very busy and involved with the Over 60s Club on Thursdays, which met each week at the Village College. She was a member of a Melbourn choir, The Melodians, who performed in Melbourn, Cambridge and surrounding villages entertaining at many venues. She moved with her husband Tom to Rose Lane in 1959 when the bungalow was just built. She had a lovely front garden, which many admired when walking past, and which was a riot of colour in spring and summer. Gardening was her interest and hobby as can be seen in the photograph below and even if she couldn’t get out so much of late the garden catalogues kept her busy. She had a long and comfortable life and we in Rose Lane will miss her.
