What struck me about Lorna above all else was just how much she did outside work: she volunteered as a Guild Committee member at St Barts Hospital, she helped organise the Craft Group shows, she was newsletter editor for the FAME network (and anyone who has had to edit a workplace newsletter knows what a job that is), and she was a cherished member of her Caribbean Community Group and the Christian Faith group in BEIS. If that wasn’t enough, Lorna found the time to learn a language, take up ballet, indulge and share her love of old films and music, and I suspect that’s only half of it. What all this means is that Lorna left her mark on the lives of so many people in BEIS and its predecessors (where she spent at least 30 years), so many in her community and so many she will have encountered in the hospital (you just know she’d have been a great weekend shop and trolley volunteer doing the rounds of the wards). It just goes to show that being one of the quieter and less vocal ones doesn’t mean you aren’t full of energy and influence. Such a boundless willingness to help others, such a selfless generosity, is rare and there will be lots of organisations and groups that are poorer for the loss of her contribution and personality. Everything we’ve heard over the days since Lorna died supports the view that she was a kind and humble soul, whether that was offering a word of support or checking up on those who weren’t well. She’ll be sorely missed but I know the memories of her will be cherished.
