The life of an inspirational Southport teacher who died earlier this month was celebrated yesterday.
Wendy Dray of Kirkstall Road died aged 81 after a short illness and was remembered fondly by family and friends at a service of thanksgiving at Aughton Park Baptist Church. Those friends included many Christians who recalled her career at Birkdale School for the Deaf where she worked after a career in nursing.
For the past few years Wendy and lifelong friend and fellow teacher Beryl Daintith have been members at the Aughton church; her thanksgiving service was taken by Pastor Billy McCurrie with the sermon by Pastor John Palmer who led Parbold Evangelical Church were the pair both attended for around 20 years.
