Messages Of Condolence

I have known Dorothy - Dot- from the time my late wife June and I started attending the Methodist Church in Barwell 50 years ago, and got to know her better when I joined the Outdoor Bowling Club in 1986.
I know her as a kind, well-spoken lady, a caring person, and one who was always keen to assist others. She has been by far the best bowler at Barwell by any standards, and our Honours Boards show her name for every ladies competition while she was still able to bowl.
When she became unable to drive herself anymore, it was my pleasure to take her to church on Sunday mornings, and we shared and enjoyed that time together.
But perhaps her greatest achievement, with her husband Eric, has been to create a wonderful, loving family of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and of whom she was extremely proud.
You have had a wonderful earthly life, Dot, and now you rest in peace.
John E Hall
Dorothy Bannister
A great bowler
Lovely, kind lady on and off the green.
RIP Dorothy
