On Tuesday 21st April our church community will say a final goodbye to Pat Taylor. Pat died in Boarbank on Good Friday, 3rd April, after a life of commitment and service to St. John the Baptist Church. Pat attended St. John's all her life and was Churchwarden for more than thirty years. She also served as Treasurer for many years. She was a fount of knowledge for all church matters at parish, deanery and diocesan level. When she stood down as Churchwarden in 2019 the PCC and congregation started to realise just how much Pat had done in the background to keep the church running smoothly, and that we had much to learn! Pat continued to worship with us on Sunday mornings until she no longer could, and I am sure that she missed being a part of the congregation in the last months as much as we missed having her with us. Pat's funeral will take place in church on Tuesday 21st April at 1.00pm, followed by burial in the cemetery and refreshments in the church room.
