TRIBUTES

LIEUT-COLONEL MAY RICHARDSON

WHEN May Derrick left her south Wales home and sailed to Jersey in August 1945, it was the beginning of a life of adventure and faith.

After a friend invited her to The Salvation Army, May accepted Jesus as her Saviour and found her soulmate in another new Salvationist, Arthur Le Feuvre. They married in 1949 and, after officer training and commissioning as part of the Ambassadors session of cadets, they served in corps across south Wales and England and welcomed their children – Phil, Steve, Cathy and Tim.

In 1967 the family moved to Kenya, where Arthur managed the Salvation Army Farm and Training Centre at Thika. May also embraced life in that rural community, caring for the physical and spiritual wellbeing of the families living there. Ten happy years followed, but God had more in store and, after another couple of UK corps appointments, by 1982 the Le Feuvres were in Paris, sharing a two-year ministry at La Villette Corps.

In 1985, while serving as the corps officers at Folkestone, Arthur was promoted to Glory, and May retired from active service and returned to Jersey. In 1988 she met and married Lieut-Colonel Arthur Richardson, and so began a new adventure in London, including their shared ministry supporting fellow retired officers.

After Arthur’s promotion to Glory in 1995, May remained in London, where she loved being part of the Regent Hall fellowship. Then in 2008 she returned home to Jersey, where she adored being surrounded by many of her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, enjoying the beauty of the island and being part of her home corps.

May leaves a wonderful legacy of love, compassion, care and Christian witness, which will be forever cherished by her family and the many friends across the world who were privileged to share her journey. – CLF

MOIRA CAIRNS, AYR

MOIRA was a well-known face in The Salvation Army across west Scotland. She was corps secretary for 20 years, cooked for many in the village and ran the home league. Anyone who lived in the village knew her from her days as a pub boomer.

Moira had the gifts of hospitality and cooking. She used to bake and sell her goods to raise money for the Army. She travelled to London on many occasions for international events, congresses and events at the training college. On one such occasion she was given a tour of IHQ and was allowed into the General’s office. This was a day that she never forgot.

Moira is now out of pain and dancing in Heaven with the Lord she loved and served. Her friends celebrate her life of Christian service. She has heard the words, ‘Well done good and faithful servant!’ – SB

BILL OSBORNE, ELLESMERE PORT

BILL was promoted to Glory earlier this year and is sorely missed. He was an extremely musical gent who took great delight in accompanying singing at the corps by beating on the bass drum that took its place alongside him at the start of most
