Mildred Ena CAVE, late of Holmfield Road. Born Mildred Ena STORER on February 5th 1910 , she was one of four children, living in Newbold Road . After leaving school, she trained as a tailoress. Her abilities were recognised when she was invited to work on an order for the Belgian Royal Family, following the death of Queen Astrid. She also worked at Reid and Seigrist, in the Desford Primary School and at the Caterpillar Plant. She and her late husband Herbert (who died in 1967) were, with her sister, Mrs. Starbuck, committed members of St. Martin's and she continued to receive the Holy Communion at Mrs. Nora Plant's home in Rowan Way, until obliged to move to Kirby House, in Leicester Forest East. She is remembered for her warm smile and sense of humour. She had one daughter Sally (now Mrs. Tuckwell of Newbold Verdon) and one grandson David, who is a friend of the Rector's son Christopher. The service was followed by cremation at Nuneaton . Her ashes are buried in the Garden of Remembrance below the Desford Church tower, with those of her late husband, sister and brother.

He moved from Twycross when he gave up his car, but sadly, his health deteriorated and he was admitted into hospital on Christmas Eve.
