The obituary notice of Rita Frances HOLMES

In fond memory of a friend who made learning fun! Love Liz

Marilyn and Rita were life long friends, having met first as student nurses. Marilyn will particularly miss her sense of humour. John will miss the photographic discussions and studying each-other's photos. Thank you Rita for your company over so many years. Love Marilyn and John Stott

It was a pleasure to meet Rita at Preston Montford some years ago and to participate with her in fungi, myxo and microfungi courses as well as bryology. Her diligence, good sense of humour and wise counsel always appreciated and Rita is missed and will be missed and remembered on many field meetings to come.

I remember Miss Holmes as Matron of Tewkesbury and Winchcombe hospitals many years ago. I haven't forgotten her hard work and commitment to the hospital, as well as the kindness she showed to staff, patients and relatives. She will be remembered for her sense of humour as well as her wise counsel. May she rest in peace.
