Angela MaryBROOMEOn 4th November at The Tregolls Manor Care Home after a valiant fight with Cancer aged 76. Angela grew up in Truro, attending school at what is now Tregolls Manor, her life came full circle. Angela worked for nearly 55 years for the Royal Institution of Cornwall, first in the office of what is now the Royal Cornwall Museum and later running the Courtney Library as Librarian and Archivist. She started her career working for a local solicitors, a highlight of the RIC years was a visit from the late Queen in 1994 when Angela's Cornwall focused exhibition was mentioned favourably in palace dispatches!
In 1999 Angela obtained an upper second honours Degree from the Open University, in Humanities and History, Science and Technology, an amazing achievement considering she was still working full time. Angela purchased her cherished cottage over 40 years ago and for 16 of those years shared it with her beloved cat Tara. This was close to The Society of Friends (Quakers) where she was an active member. Angela had many interests, foremost was the Peace Movement, CND and Friends of the Earth. Angela was a knowledgeable plantswoman, a lover of the natural world. As a child, Angela damaged her spine after a fall from gymnastic parallel bars, and later spent nearly a year in hospital to correct this, but this was unsuccessful. Angela had a love of adventure and foreign travel, she had an enormous sense of fun, and was feisty, caring, kind and stubborn. We will all miss her so very much.
A massive thank you to Robin and the staff at Tregolls Manor Care Home and the palliative care team who looked after Angela with care and love.
Angela's cremation has taken place. A memorial Quaker meeting will be held in due course.
