Lina Croucher, wop had lived in Churt for many years since her marriage to William Croucher a few years after the War, died on March 2nd. She had many friends, having taken part in several village organisations, as well as being a regular attender of St. John's Church. Her particular hobby lay in straw marquetry, of which she had many equisite examples and about which she wrote a book. In her final years, Lina almost completely lost both her sight and her sense of hearing, yet she never complained. Her courage was incredable, her loneliness poverwelming - (People come up, then walk away" she told me). So many of us in Churt feared for her safety, walking in traffic, lighting a gas stove, etc. Thank God that at last she was safely in hospital, attended by her devoted family almost to the emd. D.S.
Lina Minna Luisa Krumfuss was my stepmother
