Former Mayor of Wimborne Anthony Oliver writes: It is with much sadness that the Town of Wimborne Minster has learned of the death of Margery Ryan. Appointed a Freewomen of the Town by the town council in 2012, Margery was on the town council for a number of years in the 1980s. She served as town mayor in 1989 - a year to be remembered firstly for her involvement in the lead up to the Wimborne Distributor Road. November that year saw a large party from Wimborne joining Margery on a visit to Ochsenfurt when she signed the official document to formalise the twinning between the Town of Wimborne Minster and Ochsenfurt. In December 1989 Margery started the Save the Children Fund Christmas Parade, four floats that first year - some recent years there have been up to 50 floats! Margery was a volunteer on the Wimborne branch of Save the Children fund for very many years and was presented with one of the highest awards from the charity by the Princess Royal. Margery was involved with so many different organisations in Wimborne including the St. Margaret’s and Stones Charity, activities involving the younger people of the town, (she was a trustee of The Reef in Colehill and ran the Guides Troop in the 1960s and 70s), played the organ in church for more than 30 years, was a member of the Wimborne Tidy Group and helped with Dial-a-Ride and the Priest House Museum to name a few. Margery’s involvement with the Liberal Democrats was extensive. She also administered the Liberal Hall which used to stand in Park Lane. Margery was born in Yorkshire in 1932 and moved to London in 1948. Soon afterwards she met Denis and they were married in 1954. They moved to Bournemouth in 1957 and to Wimborne in the early 1960’s. They had five children and there are thirteen grandchildren. Margery will indeed be sorely missed by her family and many friends. Her funeral service will take place at St Catherine’s Roman Catholic Church, Lewens Lane (Rodways Corner) Wimborne on Thursday 3rd February at 11.00am. Family Flowers only with donations to Save the Children Fund. All are welcome.
