Villagers in Barrowden are set to say farewell to community champion Sheila Saunders after she died suddenly, aged 85, earlier this month.
Sheila played a big role in Barrowden life, serving several community roles, including two spells as parish council chairman.
However, perhaps her lasting legacy is Barrowden and Wakerley Community Shop which she drove though to its opening in 2009.
Friday morning s funeral service will be led by her son Martyn at St Peterâs Church in the village.
