Patricia Newton

I have known Pat most of my life both as a wife of Cecil Spicer and later the widow of Ralph Newton. I got to know her much better as the loving companion of my Uncle Gordon Eyre and enjoyed many hours in their company at our home and also at Pat’s home. She was very clever, a feisty woman and a loving woman. The most notable thing to me was that she never got over loosing her beloved and clever son at a very early age. That changed her and she talked about Rodney often and showed his handsome picture frequently. I also learned a bit about her handsome grandsons and the grandbabies. Since she has moved to London I have stayed in touch about her welfare through Marilyn Eyre, my sister-in-law, quite frequently. I know absolutely she would be “over the moon” to know she is being laid to rest beside her beloved son, Rodney. You grandsons have done a marvellous job in taking care of her these last years and my hat is off to you both for a job well done. My deepest sympathy to you and all your extended family.
Sincerely,
Theda Burns-Hersey (Eyre)

Please accept our sincere condolences. Pat was a friend to our family over the years. Although we had lost touch since my wife’s (mother’s) passing, we have fond memories of times spent together.
