He encouraged her musical ability and by the age of nine she was playing an instrument in a band of which her father was the bandmaster. When she was 10, her father died and so did her interest in music. Eventually she felt the call to the ministry, but did not know how to start. The minister at the Methodist Church she attended suggested she become a deaconess and she soon qualified and worked in various places. After haying a heart by­ pass operation she made a wonderful recovery and resumed her work as a dea­ con, working in Great Harwood.
