A RESPECTED former Clitheroe Mayoress who owned a hairdressing busi ness in the town for many years has died aged 60. Mrs Anne Cowgill was told 12
months ago that she was suffer ing from motor neurone disease. The diagnosis was a tragic
blow. Her husband and former Clitheroe Mayor Mr John Cowgill had retired from his newsagency a little more than three years earlier and the cou ple had been eagerly looking for ward to sharing and enjoying their retirement. I t was not to be. Within
weeks the illness took a severe hold. Consequently, throughout the past 12 months, Mrs Cowgill has of necessity spent time in hospital, latterly, Clitheroe, but for the final six weeks was a t home with her husband and family. Cards and messages of sym

IT was one big trip down memory lane for members of the Peel family when they held their first ever reunion. They might have needed pic
tures or name badges to recog nise each other, but happy memories from years ago soon came flooding back when more than 60 family members got together at the Red Pump Inn, in Bashall Eaves. Most of the relatives are still
living in the Ribble Valley where they grew up; but it was a special day for one of the organisers of the reunion, Susan Peel, who travelled all the way from Canada. More than half a century
ago, Susan and her parents emigrated to Canada when she was only four-years-old. Since then she felt she had
missed out all the enjoyment of being around her relatives. She kept in touch with her
family via letters and tele phone and then five decades later with the help of her uncle, Mr Alan Kay, she decided to organise a reunion. Susan (55), who works as a nurse in mental health, chose
to hold the reunion in Bashall Eaves as she has fond memo ries of her great-grandfather farming a t Mason Green Farm, in Clitheroe Road. Speaking about the reunion,
which she described as a huge success, she said; “It was just great to be able to meet family you have not seen for decades. “It was difficult to recognise
a lot of the people there, but we had badges and photographs and it was great to find people sharing childhood stories.” Overwhelmed to see her
extended family, Susan is plan ning another reunion in a few years’ time and is looking for ward to coming back to the Ribble Valley again. “I enjoyed myself very much
and will keep in touch with everybody until the next fami ly get together “Most of all I am looking
forward to coming back to the Ribble Valley, as I think it is the most beautiful place in England,” added Susan, who is now compiling an album. Our picture shows the Peel
family at the Red Pump Inn. (A240504/2)

pathy have flooded into the cou ple's Hereford Drive home. As a child, Mrs Cowgill
attended Pendle Junior School in Clitheroe, then Westholme School, leaving to join her moth er's hairdressing business, "Irene's," first in King Street, and later in York Street, Clitheroe. Following her moth er's retirement, she opened her own salon, "Anne's", in Lower- gate, continuing to build up a wide circle of customers, many of whom became personal friends. She thoroughly enjoyed the profession and, after retiring some sue years ago, continued to visit some of her older regular clients. Her tremendous patience was
evident both at work and at home where she pursued her hobbies of beadwork and tapestry. A member of the Toll House Beaders and the Bead- workers' Guild of Great Britain, she spent many hours painstak ingly creating intricate and beautiful works of art, many of

The couple were able to cele brate Holy Communion and renew their wedding vows in the presence of Canon Philip Dear- den whose regular visits to then- home have been a source of strength during the last year.

sons Russell, Steven, David and John. A private cremation took
place yesterday at Accrington, followed by a service of thanks giving a t Clitheroe Parish Church.
