Margaret ' Mollie' Anne Worrow (25 Feb 1927 - 19 Aug 2022)

In loving memory of Margaret 'Mollie' Anne Worrow who sadly passed away on 19th August 2022.

My mum was always known as Mollie or Nanny Mollie amongst family and friends. She was born on 25th February 1927 to Louise and James Fassenfelt and was the seventh child in a family of nine - Jimmy, Bert, Ivy, Martin, Gert, Arthur, Mollie, Georgie and Lily.

The family lived in a small terraced property in Jamaica Street, Stepney, East London. It was a tight squeeze for them all and times were undoubtedly tough with the loss of Martin at a tender young age and the Second World War years intervening. Notwithstanding it was during her growing years that she was to meet my Dad, George Worrow, who also resided in the locality. Love began to blossom and they eventually married at St Dunstans Church on 18th December 1948. On 30th January 1957, I was born at the London Hospital and as you might expect of an only child was much doted upon by both parents until their dying days.

Mum was a fiercely loyal and independent lady who after the loss of my Dad in November 2003 continued to support our family in the same selfless and devoted way that they had done together as a couple. Family always came first in their eyes. She adored both Carole and myself, her grandchildren Laura and Nicola and partners Ben and John and great grandchildren Luke, Elodie and Jaxon. We could do no wrong. She always had our backs. We were her life! She also maintained a love for her wider family and friends who she kept close contact with. Where would she have been without her daily phone calls with brother Georgie or gossip days with friends Mavis and Margaret. Her treasured iPad pictures will always pay testimony to her unrequited love of those close to her.

The passing of my Mum signifies the end of an era for us. Part of me is happy that she is now back in the arms of my Dad who she has missed so very much in the last nineteen years, the other part feels like a gaping hole that can never be filled.

She was so loved, I cannot begin to describe the sadness her passing has had on our family. She will, I know, always have a special place in our hearts now and forevermore.

God Bless Mum - I feel so humbled to have had parents like you and Dad.

All My Love
