In Memory of Frances Thorne [ 14 09 1936 - 24 02 2005 ]  

The Wick News March 2005 carried the following 

"It is with great sadness that we record Frances' death. Her funeral on March 3 at St. Teresa's Church in Southwick, with the sun shining, was attended by many - including Wick members who remembered Frances for her years of energetic and enthusiastic work for the company.  The basket-weave coffin was beautifully appropriate for someone who had always excelled in artistic and craft skills.  It was great to see Frances at the Wick Dinner in January.  She will be sadly missed from all our future activities.  Our sympathies to Frances' family and our gratitude that we enjoyed her company and contribution to the Wick for many years."
