We are saddened to inform those who knew and remember her, that Barbara Green died recently, in her own home in Aylesbury, where she was being cared for by members of her family.  Barbara was formerly a keen member of Thame Bridge Club but late-night driving from Aylesbury limited her ability to attend, so Aylesbury Aces (amongst other clubs) benefited from her decision to stand down.

Her funeral will be held on Wednesday 4th June at Aylesbury Vale Crematorium, Watermead at 1.30pm.  All who wish to go are very welcome to do so.  As Barbara was so fond of flowers the family are happy for you to wear bright, floral colours if you choose to do so.
