In loving memory of Maureen Kitty Henderson, our Mum and Nana, aunt to our cousins and friends to everyone she met - who sadly passed away on 28th January 2021.

Taken too soon and forever in our hearts.

84 years young, mum was always smiling, always caring and loved nothing more than spending time in the garden, minding her flowers and pots and watching the antics of various wildlife that visited her, from the squirrels and starlings, to the "foxies" and finches - her love of all things nature and therefore instead of sending flowers, has led us to seek charitable support and donation to Essex Wildlife Trust. Mum also loved all pets and in particular her own and our cats over the years - the work of the Cats Protection League is therefore also to be recognised and supported, as Mum would have wanted.

Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard but always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear

The funeral has kindly been arranged by S Stibbards and Sons and will be held at Basildon Crematorium on Wednesday 10th March 2021 at 12.30 pm.

Due to COVID restrictions, we are unable to invite extensively as we would have liked. With lockdown we have had to be mindful of maximum numbers and of course we are not able to have a gathering afterwards which is such a shame.

We know also that for many, the distance to travel makes it impossible at this difficult time. We have arranged for a link to be set up for those who would like to attend virtually and can email/text this to you. You can either watch live on the day, or the recording will be available for up to 28 days afterwards to watch at a time convenient to you. Please do let me know by clicking on the blue link at the top of the page "contact obituary owner", and a message will come through to me - or give me a call - I can then provide you with the link - Diana
