Fenella Flanagan (22 Jul 1953 - 5 Apr 2022)

Dearest Fenella, I have many happy memories of our chldhood and visits to Grandad and Grandma's house where we would giggle into the night way past when we should have been asleep we had such fun. Rest in peace.

RIP Lovely Lady ❤️

We had some fun... Rest in peace my dear friend

Rest in peace

Rest in Peace, Fenella. I was only young when you were living in Bahrain, but the memories I do have are pleasant. Wherever you are going now, I hope your journey is exciting and filled with light.

HOT CHOCOLATE FOR TEA
We have such lovely memories. Some a little bizarre! Fenella knocked on our door in Bahrain one day in the '80s and ramdomly brought a member of 'Hot Chocolate' to tea..
God bless Fenella
With much love

I am deeply saddened to hear the sad news. Fenella was a wonderful friend, full of life and vigor. I have many great memories of the times she spent in Bahrain and our involvement with her in publishing a very successful magazine ‘This is Bahrain’ covering the business and social life of Bahrain. She was a fun-loving person, always adventurous with a great sense of humor and entrepreneurial spirit.

We stayed in contact with her and Gudvin in Bahrain and abroad and met them during my visits to London. We enjoyed many social gatherings in Bahrain and London.

My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them in these difficult times.

May her soul rest in peace.

Fenella was, indeed one of those people who has left a permanent impression to many of her Co-Workers, acquaintances and friends during the time we all lived in Bahrain and beyond those memorable years. So many memories of lunches and dinners at our favourite restaurant venues which would erupt into much mirth and merriment on a regular basis, frivolity by swimming pools and on boats and the regular Friday Morning Champagne Breakfasts. So many memories were created during our years in the Kingdom.

Fenella led a rich and exciting life filled with experiences that we all listened to intently of her exploits and adventures around the world. She was attractive – inside and out, talented in so many ways, totally honest and extremely loyal to all her many friends around the world. Nothing - and I mean nothing - was too much trouble to help them in any way she could. It was in Bahrain that she met her Life Partner, Gudvin and also where they began creating a life together that took them around the world but mainly focused in Norway, the United Kingdom, the Cayman Islands and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands spending valuable time with Gudvin’s children.

The life of our dear friend, “Fanny”, began to change with the early onset diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease with its cruelness of making her memory start to fade and her rich collection of experiences scrambled. She bravely fought the ravages of the disease before finally succumbing to it earlier this month.
We, her friends, are all left with a host of memories of the fantastic times we have spent together over many decades and Fenella - has mercifully been released from the clutches of the disease and had all her library of memories returned to her!!!

RIP Fanny

Memories of good times and wonderful friendships in Tortola are very dear to us. Fenella is very much a part of those memories. She was always ready for a party, a tennis game or just a good conversation. We loved her and will always treasure those memories. The Coverts
