meetings. Bill’s favourite pastimes were eating biscuits or, better still, cake and drinking tea, but most of all reading the Bible he treasured so dearly.

Bill was friends with everyone. He cared for them and, I have no doubt, they were also the subject of his prayers. He lived, breathed and spread God’s love wherever he went. The memory of his personality, friendship and faith – and laugh – will go on pointing hearts and minds to a God who loves them, whether they realise it or not.

Bill has left a great legacy behind him, most of all in the hearts of the people he met. – LS

MAUREEN RUSHFORTH, REGENT HALL

MAUREEN was born in Kingston upon Hull in 1936 to Ernie and Gwen Hutchinson. They attended Hull Icehouse Corps where Maureen spent her early years. After the Second World War the family moved to Fleetwood and attended Blackpool Citadel, where she became a soldier, serving as a primary teacher and songster and running a Salvation Army Red Shield mobile canteen. In 1956 Maureen married Alan Rushforth.

In 1969 the family, now including Gillian and Michele, moved to London, where Ian was born. They attended Regent Hall, where Maureen subsequently served the Lord as a faithful soldier for 53 years. Cradle roll sergeant, welcome sergeant and songster were some of the responsibilities that she undertook and enjoyed.

Maureen, who was promoted to Glory suddenly, will be remembered for her loving influence upon her family and for her practical faith and service in her corps and neighbourhood. – GC

KEITH STANDLEY, RAMSGATE

KEITH was born to Salvationist parents in 1947 and was a lifelong soldier of Ramsgate Corps. Keith married Meg in 1973 and they had two children, Joy and Ian. Keith loved his family and took great delight in his two grandchildren, Niamh and Matthew, to whom he was affectionately known as ‘silly grandad’.

Keith was always busy with corps life, holding various positions over the years, including pub boomer, torchbearer youth club leader, bandsman, songster and band secretary. He also drove the corps minibus for well over 30 years, always with a smile for those he picked up and an encouraging word for anyone he met.

Keith’s sudden promotion to Glory has left a huge void in many people’s lives, both at the corps and especially for Meg and the family. But they take comfort in the fact that he is with his Lord, whom he served all his life. God bless you, Keith. – CW
