Tributes have been paid to a beloved teacher and volunteer who has died after decades of serving the people of Andover. Marion Spaul passed away on January 11 at Andover Nursing Home, following decades of work as a teacher at Winton School and as a volunteer at the Countess of Brecknock Hospice. Her family said they would remember her “infectious good humour, quick wit and effervescent personality”. She is survived by her children Linda, Andrew, Jonathan and David, as well as her grandchildren Thomas and Charlie. She was born as Marion Ursula Nelder in Reading on March 6 1922, as the eldest daughter of Harold and Marion. Marion’s mother died at the age of four, which her family said “cast a shadow over her life”. Following her mother’s death, the family moved to Edinburgh to live with their mother’s sister, May MacNeill.
Council Leader s good wishes I WOULD like to extend my sincere thanks to Hampshire residents for their fortitude and resilience during what has been an extraordinarily difficult year – on so many levels. We have seen our way of life change in ways that we could not have imagined as the COVID pandemic has taken its toll on the way we live and work – as well as on individual lives and those of families throughout our communities. While we assimilate the difficult news from the weekend – with tighter restrictions and growing viral infection rates - we must also take hope that the advent of the vaccine offers promise for a happier and healthier 2021. For the time being though, it remains critical that we continue to abide by the rules for our respective areas and do all we can to look after ourselves, our loved ones and to keep Hampshire safe.
