Tributes flood in for brave Debbie


by Faiza Afzaal


TRIBUTES have been paid to a popular and much­ loved hairdresser who has died aged 45. The words “bubbly, cheeky


and confident” were used by family and friends to describe Debbie Louise Keighley, who passed away in Clitheroe Coni- munity Hospital after a lone illness.


• The mother-of-one’s popu­


larity was evident from the huge number o f condolence cards the family received from well-wishers, customers and friends since her untimely death. A funeral service was held


at Christ Church, Chatburn, which was attended by more than 150. Donations were made in memory of Debbie to Breast Cancer Care and the amount raised was £1,100.


Later in life she felt she


needed a change and started teaching hairdressing at Nel­ son and Colne College Debbie was diagnosed with


DEBBIE KEIGHLEY Born and brought up in the


Ribble Valley, Debbie attend­ ed Whalley Primary School and completed her education at Mooriand School, Clithe­ roe. On leaving school she decid­


ed that she wanted to pursue a career in hairdressing and soon opened her first salon in Oswaldtwistle, called Zigzags. She later opened one in King Street, Whalley, called Difini- tiveHair.


breast cancer in April last year and remained positive throughout her illness. She re­ sponded well to the treatment she received and was even looking forward to opening a new salon in Longridge. How­ ever, in January she was diag­ nosed with secondary brain cancer. Paying tribute to his brave


sister, Debbie’s brother, Ni­ cholas said: “In battling can­ cer, Debbie’s true character came to the fore. She showed tremendous courage, bravery and fortitude during that fight and during that time I cannot • ever remember her ever once moaning or complaining about her plight.” He added: “Debbie was a .


loving and kind person. She also gave out the aura of being


a supremely confident person. She had her glamorous looks, her cheel^ smile and a bubbly personality, but underneath she was also a great worrier and would often worry about the most obscure and trivial things.” ■ Debbie’s 20-year-old daugh ter, Charlotte, paid tribute to


■ the medical staff who looked after her mum throughout her illness, both in hospital and at home. She also urged people not to ignore the signs of ill­ ness and to seek medical ad­ vice straight away.


.. “It is really important to go to the doctors should you no­ tice anything abnormal,” said Charlotte. “The family wishes to thank


everyone that donated towards Breast Cancer Care.” Debbie is survived by her


mother, Mrs Marlene Keigh­ ley, daughter Charlotte, her brothers Nicholas and Russell and hersisterdn-Iaw, Faye.


Restaurant wins Ramsay ‘best’ accolade

preciated and beautiful stretch of water that played a crucial part in


. the Industrial Revolution. Parts o f ' the canal are so picturesque and it denotes such an important piece of our heritage.” Whilst very challenging, com­


pleting the journey ultimately proved very rewarding for the in­ trepid trio. Bertie said: “We were typically


starting the day at 6 a.m. and finis- ing at 8 p.m. to set up camp before it went dark. “At limes we came across parts


of the canal that were drained, so we would have to carry very heavy


kayaks loaded up with food and camping equipment and take the diversion on foot. “The hardest part was the


Wigan stretch which had 23 locks over a 2.5 mile distance!” The students would like to


thank their main sponsors, Har­ risons Engineering, of Billington, and Haworth and Nutall Solici­ tors. .
