In loving memory of Audrey Osbourn (née Medhurst) who died on 9th September 2016 at Abbeygate Retirement Home in Moulton, aged 92. Widow of Douglas, Mum to Phillip, Maggie and Emma, Ninny to 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, she will be greatly missed.

Audrey was born in Northwood, Middlesex, the youngest of 9 children. During World War II she served in the WRNS in Eastbourne and Greenock, Scotland. After the war she met and married Douglas, moving to the Spalding area in 1953. Doug and Audrey ran a market garden concern in Quadring from 1960 until 1986 before retiring to Wardentree Lane in Pinchbeck. After Doug's death in 2003 Audrey moved to Swallow's Court in Spalding from where she had only just moved to Moulton before her death.

We loved seeing Audrey, when in the UK, and found her a wonderfully interesting person who lived a life full of challenges and hard work on the land. Her warmth and down to earth qualities were endearing and we are very sad to hear of her passing.

No longer in our lives to share,
but in our hearts you’ll always be there.
Those we love don’t go away,
they walk beside us every day -
We didn’t see you as often as we would have liked, but you were often in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss you Auntie Audrey … Susan & Stuart

Although I cannot see you,
I feel your presence near.
I will hold you close in memory,
Till I drop my very last tear
Love you forever Ninny xx
