Sad news have reached us from Graham Williams, husband of life member Sue Williams (nee Emerson):
It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that Sue passed away at sunrise on Tuesday April 20th. Her daughter and I were with her at home when she passed and it was peaceful in the end. The secondary breast cancer had spread to her liver and probably beyond and she faded quite quickly in the end. Her funeral will be held on Friday May 7th at our local church here in Lydbrook at 2pm - we tried to get it at one o'clock and then we would have had One o'clock from the house, one of the plays we were in back in our wonderful days with the Hamburg Players. We had hoped to come over in February or then May to see those of you who know us and to see the latest production but it was not to be because of Covid. Her daughter and I comforted Sue with recalling some of the tales from her days on the stage for which we still have Sue's Pathak award on a bookcase.
Our deepest condolences go out to Graham and family.
Sue contributed so much to the Hamburg Players, on the committee and on stage and backstage. She enthusiastically welcomed and encouraged many new members to the club.
She will be missed.
