The obituary notice of Anne June (Tynemouth) ORWIN (Annie)

Aw, Annie, you've been a lovely friend since we met at work in the early 70's. That's when you
asked me to see you singing at the Station Hotel in Newcastle. As I walked down the street I could hear your amazing raunchy voice, such volume, such an amazing voice. Many times since then I've seen you singing and knew how much you gave your all to every song. When I lived in Alston Cumbria I got you a gig at the town hall, the night being arranged by 'Candle Ted' the local candle maker. I've still got the photos of Eric playing harmonica in my cottage in the Butts. The rest of the band were there and some of my friends as well. Great atmosphere, nowt like a party after a gig. You were always close to my heart and my family, daughter, granddaughters and great grandkids listened to you singing on the internet. They will all be so sad you've passed away. Eric must be devastated. Last time we saw each other was when you lived in Whitley Bay and we always kept in touch, right through your illness as well. You said you would love to come to my new home in Hexham in the spring, sadly that's not to be. Annie you were a brilliant and talented woman and a great friend. I'll miss you so much, god bless you.

Dearest Annie, you will be missed by so many. Everyone who knew you will have such lovely memories of time with you. Mine will be us singing “I see a fireplace…” together and laughing very hard. Rest well cuz 🌹♥️

Annie, you were a beacon of light and one of the biggest fun loving personalities I got the privilege to know. All my love to your nearest and dearest and may they cherish every moment a bright light comes into their lives, because it will always be you shining. Jazz hands forever! All my love Stacey xxx
