1977 Obituary published in Hallmark by Doug Tilbury

"It is with great regret that we record the death of Mrs Jessie Boorman on Christmas Day, after 18 distressing months of not even knowing her closest loved ones. She was born in the parish at Parslows Hillock, and like her parents, became a staunch, active member of the Methodist Church. Very interested in all aspects of village life, She was for many years a member of the Women's Institute.

Our sympathy to her husband, Eric and her daughter Daphne."
