Carol-Ann Greenhalgh died on January 11 after a short battle with cancer. She had taught at Bolton School for nearly 30 years before retiring in 2011. Alongside her teaching she was passionate about her local community and played an important role in the area by participating in the Ladybridge Residents Association, eventually becoming chair of the organisation. She took part in the neighbourhood watch scheme and thanks to her efforts a defibrillator was installed in the area. From 1982 to 2011 Carol-Ann taught at Bolton School, beginning as a part-time temporary religious studies teacher and later becoming Head of Middle School at the Girls Division.
