PAMELA M FORD 1933 – 2020
Pam passed away peacefully at home on February 8th. She was born in Carshalton, Surrey and moved to Walberswick in 1971 with her late husband George. They had Seacroft in Millfield Road built to their requirements. As a PE teacher at John Leman School in Beccles, Pam had a somewhat fearsome reputation, something still recalled today by former pupils in the Village.
Both Pam and George were passionate about wildlife and the environment, spending their holidays in remote locations along with camper van and dalmatian. Appropriately, Pam has left her estate to the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. Last year it was a pleasure to get Pam together with Julian Roughton, the Trust’s Chief Executive, to discuss her legacy.
Pam’s ashes will join those of George in Captain’s Wood, a Suffolk Wildlife Trust reservethey helped to fund. In typical Pam style, her brief interment instructions conclude with the words “NO FUSS!”
