Jean Duffy - we shall miss her

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden death of Jean Duffy, Sally's Mum. Jean worked at Threads and Patches from day one in 2001, even before it was a shop (cold, windy days on a market stall in Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill), she helped with the opening of the shop in August 2001 and worked most days untill 2004/5 when she felt it was time to 'retire' at the age of 77. She did stop working every day but never stopped supporting and made her mark on our 'Special Days Out' program with her homemade cakes (courgette and apple were firm favourites). Jean was known by many of our customers and was considered a slightly quirky fixture, who was always entertaining and interested in everything that was going on. We shall all miss her terribly. The funneral will be at Crownhill Crematorium on Thurs 9th Feb 2012 at 3.30pm.
