Tributes to Betty Holmes

Go Back to Obituary

From Sheila Knight

It is with sadness that I write this tribute to Betty Holmes.  She has been my dearest friend for nearly 40 years.  I will miss her deeply.  When I first became a Borough Councillor she took me under her wing.  I don’t think I could have coped without her.  You could say she was my Mentor.

But with sadness there is also the blessing in having had her friendship.  I feel very privileged to call her my friend.  I will miss her wisdom, her humour and her love for Old Basing
