In loving memory of Joan Gale who sadly passed away on 27th December 2023 and will be deeply missed by family and friends.

A Funeral service will be held on Monday 22nd January at 12:00pm at Surrey & Sussex Crematorium. We would love you to also join us afterwards to celebrate Joan’s life followed by refreshments at her regular church of worship, Reigate Baptist Church at 1.15p.m.

What you choose to wear is immaterial. What really counts is your presence to sing and say a joyful goodbye to a life most valued and wonderful!

Joan and I spent many happy days working together at Reigate and Leatherhead and had so many laughs both at work and socially. Joan was such a positive, happy person with so much good in her and was always a”glass half full person “ never “half empty”. I will miss her greatly.
