Retired academic, Labour activist and keen gardener, Linda Piggott (née Dutton) has unexpectedly passed away aged 74 in Southport.
Born in Dewsbury, she spent parts of her childhood in Bristol and in Oslo. After reading Sociology at the University of Leeds, much of her adult life was dedicated to teaching, moving from working in Special Educational Needs schools to Lancaster and Morecambe College, and then on to teach probation students at Lancaster University. She was a strong champion of social justice, disability rights, and reform of the prison system. In retirement she found friendship through the Southport WI, the Labour Ladies, and the Friends of Rotten Row. She will be sorely missed by family and friends.
Funeral Service to take place at Southport Crematorium on Monday 2nd September at 3pm.
