Tributes to battler Linda


A BRAVE S im o n s to n e grandmother who coura­ g e o u s ly , fo u g h t a g a in s t cancer and helped to raise hu nd reds of p o u n d s for cancer cha r it ies has lo s t her battle with the disease. Despite her fierce determi­


nation, Linda Gully (59), of Whins Lane, died in the; Royal Blackburn Hospital on Tuesday, August: 1 9 th ,-.18 months af ter sh e was first diagnosed with lung cancer. Her family have paid trib­


ute to her and in a moving poem due to be read out at her funeral yesterday, her 14- year-old granddaughter Kate, with whom she shared a close bond, describes her as “the coolest nana ever.” Her eldest daughter Gill


(37) said: “She was a family person who loved her daugh­ ters and grandchildren.


“But rather than a mother


and grandmother she was a really really good friend. You could tell her about every­ thing. She was a lovely per­


son.” Originally from Middleton,


Linda later lived in Rochdale and brought up her daugh­ ters, Gill and Karen, while holding down four jobs. “Mum was a lollipop lady,


dinner lady, D J and also worked behind the bar at the local pub. Gill said: “She used to


organise fund-raising discos at the local primary school and she gave the money to cancer ch a r it ie s, mainly Cancer Research. “ She also organised fancy-


dress pub crawls and did the Blackpool to Rochdale walk twice for charity.” The grandmother of four continued fund-raising when


she moved to the Burnley


area 20 years ago. Former-Padiham Mayor


Coun. Maureen Whittaker, who was good friends with Linda, also paid tribute to


her. “ I t ’s a very sad t im e for


everybody. Linda was very brave. For me, personally, she was my cheerleader. When I ran the London Marathon she had a huge banner.


, “She came to London with


it and pin-pointed different places where she could display it . I saw that banner three times on the way round.” Linda, who worked as a


housekeeper at the Higher Trapp Country House Hotel, also supported her friend when she took part in the Great North Run and the Great Manchester Run. Both women took part in the annual Morecambe Bay

Growers beat weather for a good show


AT the annual West Bradford Village Graft and Produce Show on Sunday entries were down on last year, possibly due to the inclement weather. But for those who managed


to grow their flowers, plants and vegetables the q uality was excellent, as reflected by the judges’eomments. Overall winner for best in


show went to Derek Swindle- hurst for his all green arrange­ ment. Points winner was Jeff Rich with 143 po in ts . The children’s best in show went to Kayleigh Knight for her.dec-?i orated plant pot.
