In loving memory of Karen Walford who sadly passed away on 28th September 2023.

Karen was the first born - a daughter to Eric & Sylvia Hurst.
She was an older sister to Angie & Nigel and they grew up in Reigate, Surrey.

Karen married Clive Walford in her early 20's and they had three children - Mark, Charlotte and Richard.
She was thrilled to have six grandchildren, Ben, Zoe, Emma, Sarah, Skye & Jamie.

Sadly she was widowed at a young age and fought a few health battles along the way.

Karen lived life to the full with a large circle of friends and hobbies.

Sadly when she was diagnosed in 2019 with Alzheimer's - the disease slowly stripped Karen's personality from her loved ones and friends.

She will be greatly missed and will be remembered with that lovely smile!

Charlotte Walford donated £150 in memory of Karen

We love you MUM, we will miss you MUM - now at peace.
