My friend Deborah Hines, who has died of cancer aged 54, was a university administrator, first at Sheffield and then in York.
She was born in Kirby Muxloe, near Leicester, to Janet (nee Ward), a laboratory technician, and Roger Hines, a tanner. After leaving Loughborough high school, where she had a particular interest in Latin and Greek, Deborah did a degree in classics at Churchill College, Cambridge, and then had a brief spell working on the London Metal Exchange.
