She died in January 2019 at St Lukeās and in her last weeks was supported by the St Lukeās Community Team. The store now has sister stores in Stroud and Morpeth and Rebecca is the Senior Buyer. Deborahās family have undertaken a number of fundraising endeavours for the charity in the last three years.
Her husband Mark raises funds for the hospice through his companyās annual charity bike ride and friends and family have also taken part in the Sheffield half marathon and other events. Rebecca said: āIād like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the ball and helped us to raise such a brilliant amount of money for such a wonderful cause. āMy mum used to plan and organise fantastic events and balls for charity so it seemed a fitting way to mark what would have been her 60th birthday.
āShe had a great talent for bringing people from all walks of life together and she was so loved by many people. āWe wanted to organise this special event for St Lukeās to thank this very special place for being there when our family needed them - they helped us during one of the worse times possible and I will continue in my efforts to raise money for such an amazing charity.ā St Lukeās Fundraising Account Manager Anna Gott said: āTo raise such a fantastic sum in just one evening was an extraordinary achievement and we cannot thank Deborahās family enough for all the great work they are doing on our behalf. āIn this our 50th anniversary year we depend more than ever on the generosity of the public and Deborahās family can be assured that the money they are raising will mean many other people enjoy the same standard of care that Deborah received both from the St Lukeās CommunityTeam and from our In Patient Centre.ā
