In loving memory of Sue Pollard who sadly passed away on 12 May 2020. She was a loving wife to her husband Terry and a loyal and caring friend to all who knew her.
Sue worked as a nurse for a total of 35 years in many different roles. She started as a nursing auxiliary and after qualifying as a SEN she gradually worked her way up to her BSc qualification as a clinical nurse specialist. She was by no means a natural student but her passion and perseverance carried her through. She was a Macmillan nurse for a number of years and before she retired she enjoyed her life as a practice nurse.
Her hobbies were many and she especially enjoyed knitting, crocheting and dressmaking. She was very fond of cats and at one time she and Terry lived in a small bungalow with six cats. In 2010 they added a Westie called Teddy to their animal family and went on many enjoyable walks and cottage holidays with him.
She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2015 and underwent various courses of treatment at both Southend Hospital and University College Hospital. She was very brave during this time and refused to dwell on the difficulties involved. She was very fond of saying that she ‘had to keep on keeping on’. She kept on for as long as she could before losing her battle with the illness on 12 May 2020.
