The obituary notice of Wendy MICKEL (Jones)

I know Wendy is sorely missed, and sending lots of love to Liz and your family. Hannah xx

This donation is sent with our thanks for the happy memories of Wendy's time at Broomfield Primary in her role as Chair of Governors, which she undertook with extreme diligence and dedication.

Wendy always made me feel welcome when I came to see Liz, and was a bit of a surrogate mum to me. A lovely lady, who was very talented, and made my boys some lovely things when they were little (which I still have). Rest in peace and comfort xx

Elizabeth (or Buff as I call her) has been one of my best friends since we were 3 years old. Wendy was a second Mum to me at times like when I tried to microwave peas for the first time and it went horribly wrong - I rang Wendy in tears and she gently explained to me that I needed to have put water in the bowl with them. She once made Buff and I ‘cheese ducks’ - she used a duck shape cookie cutter on those individual slices of cheese. I LOVED them and so she often made them for me, even sending me a plate of them round to my house when I was having a tough time. I’m one of those people that weird stuff happens to and Wendy loved to hear about my latest disaster. She once said she was sure I was put on the planet so that other people could laugh at my misfortunes. I had my first baby when I was very young but Wendy didn’t bat an eyelid, instead supporting me and adoring my little one. Thank you for your wisdom and kindness Wendy and I hope you’re up there introducing others to the joy of cheese ducks xxx

We never had the chance to meet Wendy but this didn’t stop her from knitting a little cardigan for our baby girl followed by a beautiful quilt. We’ll treasure them both always, and proud to be members of the Wendy Mickel Cardigan Club! Thinking of you all and sending you all our love
Martha, Phil & Bea xx

Dear Liz, Stuart, Andrew & James

Thinking of you all,

Love your friends at ActionAid UK xx
