Tribute . Sabden said farewell to one of its favourite daughters this week at the funeral of Mrs Mary. Frankland who was known affectionately by most Sabdeners as “Auntie Maty”. She had been ill for sev eral )!ears when she died in the Belgarth Nursing Home on September 24th with her family by her side.
Before her illness Mrs Frankland, who was 85, was known for her kindness and care for other people and was out and-about every day, around the vil- ^ lage visiting family, friends and neigh bours for a friendly chat, helping with shopping or taking along her home- baked cakes. Her Christmas cakes were legendary and she made dozens each year for friends and family. The door to her home in Whalley Road was always open and welcoming and the binmen, postmen, or any nearby work men were always ■
greeted with tea and cakes.
Sabden was her home village and she loved it and never wanted to live any? where else. She was widowed early and had to bring up her two children, Susan
work, first in Sab- den’s cotton mills and later at Cal- derstones Hospital, Whalley. She was devoted to her two children and four grandchildren, but sadly, was not well enough to enjoy her
three great-grand daughters.
At her funeral service at Burnley Crema torium on Monday a moving yet humor
ous poem written by her granddaughter.

Charity team raised £6,000
by Duncan Smith COSGROVES, the Rib-
. ble Valley-based fashion house with outlets in Rini- ington, Clitheroe and Sam- lesbury, has spent the past year raising money to fight children’s cancers. Through its managing di
rector Dorothy Cosgrove, the business has been closely involved with a 12-month fundraising marathon, rais ing funds for national charity Cancer Research and specifi cally for research into cancers which affect children and young people. Thirty-two teams from all
over Ribble Valley and north and west Yorkshire fund- raised for 12 months, which
. culminated in a 24-hour “Re lay for Life” walking event to celebrate the success of the marathon fundraiser.
■ The Relay weekend started • with a “survivors’! lap of hon our for those who have lived through cancer. This began the 24-hour
walking around the track which went on through the night, with the final lap head ed by the Team Committee,
who had organised the whole . event. At dusk a very emotion al Candle of Hope ceremony was held in memory of all the oeople who had survived or sadly passed away from this dreadful disease. During the 24 hours ongo
ing entertainment kept eve rybody lively, only quietening down when some of the teams needed to get some well de
served shuteye. Dorothy Cosgrovc,has been
, treasurer of Ribble Valley' White Rose Ladies for-the past 13 years and said: “It has been a privilege to have been ' involved with such a fine set of ladies all working for such an important cause.
, “The Relay For Life has been a marvellous way of bringing back the community
spirit while raising much need money for our children. Our total achievement during the
•13 years is £700,000.!’ •.That money includes an incredible £6,000 raised by
“Team Cosgroves”, the di rectors, staff and friends'of
: Cosgroves who took part in the Relay for Life, which it self raised a grand total of £124,000.
