Maureen WOLSTENHOLMEaged 74, the devoted wife of the late Raymond & loving step mum to Janet, Elaine, Kelvin & Ruth, loving Grandma to Joe & Katie & cousin of Jean & Keith, died peacefully in her sleep on April 7th with her family by her side.
During her working life Maureen became manager at National Mill stores in Accrington & later assisted her husband in the family business; Wolstenholme’s Funeral Service.
Maureen was a beautiful piano player enjoying many hours at home playing her piano. She also gained a great deal of pleasure watching many sports on TV, especially the Wimbledon fortnight during which it was impossible to prize her away from the coverage. Roger Federer could do no wrong in her eyes.
She was an avid lifelong knitter & a collector of many ornaments over the years. Along with husband Raymond, she enjoyed scenic holidays especially Grasmere in the Lake District & the compulsory visit to chocolate shop in the village as well as regular trips to friends in Aviemore.
A quiet lady, very happy in her own company with her treasured little dog Theo who sadly passed away 4 days previous.
Maureen loved her food more than anything & was never happier than when eating a delicious meal, especially scampi & chips! She also enjoyed treating herself in the local M&S buying a cheeky dessert for her sweet tooth.
On moving from Accrington to Lytham St Annes she was well liked in the local area & supported community charity shops. She will be sadly missed by her neighbours, respected by all she was chairperson for the Residents Association.
The funeral will take place in St Annes on Monday 20th April at 2pm.
