Maureen Leeming of Laburnum Drive, Oswaldtwistle, passed away peacefully in hospital, on Wednesday 27th July 2022, aged 83 years.

After leaving school she worked as a graphic designer on fabrics but later in life became a home help up until she took her retirement.

In her spare time and during her retirement, she was a keen church goer, attending St Paul’s Church in Oswaldtwistle every Sunday with her cousin Pat. She regularly helped out at most events, especially by making cakes and buns as she was a great baker. She also enjoyed various crafts activities, including making cards for people and also decoupage, of which she has made some lovely, framed pictures. She also loved her holidays and has travelled all over Europe.

She sadly leaves behind her husband of over 50 years, Peter, her much loved sons Craig and Christopher and their partners Julie and Gillian respectively, her grandchildren Stefan, Bradley and Shannon and two great granddaughters Scarlet and Ruby.
