Judith Amanda Elliott

(19th March 1964 - 11th January 2024)

Judith (Judy to most people)  was best known for her love of people, books, cats and the occasional tipple.  She laughed, she listened, she chatted and brought light into the hearts of her family, friends, neighbours and colleagues.

Judith died unexpectedly, far too young, after a sudden brain  haemorrhage  and leaves a gap in the lives of so many people.

Much of Judith’s career involved working with books.  She researched and produced radio and TV programmes about books, she co-organised book festivals and worked in a bookshop.  For pleasure she read books and listened to audio books. In that spirit, we would like to support BookTrust, creating another generation  of readers.

So in place of flowers, would you consider making a donation to BookTrust, the UK’s largest children’s reading charity? To read more about them please click on this link https://www.booktrust.org.uk/
