Boxley and St. John's Grove Green:

Jackie Saunders

It is with great sadness that we learnt today (Thursday 12/3) of the sad passing of our Churchwarden - Jackie Saunders. She had been bravely living with a serious illness for several years, although many who came into contact with her may not have been aware. She was so much more than the Churchwarden, having been a member of the Boxley church community for all of her life, whether that be as a young lady in the choir, or as the person who got things done, either socially or ecclesiastically, especially during the interregnums that the Pilgrims Way community has experienced over the last 15 years. Not satisfied with that she used her talents to become an Anna chaplain, visiting those in need of a friendly, caring spiritual comfort. All of this was done with grace, humility and no thought for personal gain and with a beaming smile. We are all the better for having known her. Our thoughts and prayers go to her sister and brother, who have supported and cared for her.
 
Her funeral will take place on Tuesday 28/4 at Boxley Church at 11am.
