Sheila Ralphs - a tribute by Mariana Greenan

Sheila Ralphs, born on 16th February 1923, died on 16th April 2021. Next Monday, 24th May, we shall be saying farewell to our dear Sheila, who was a shining light in our par-ish of the Pokrov, and its oldest parishioner. The funeral will take place in our church at 11.30 a.m., followed by interment.

Sheila was born in Wales, the daughter of a schoolmaster. She always made the point that her family was English, but she retained a great affection for the land of her birth and returned to Wales frequently.
