✨🕊️

Celebrating a lady who lived and breathed Queensbury, she loved every inch of her home village- living there all her life.

A real character who was a very skilled crafter. Just like her dad who was a joiner- an eye for detail ran in the family.

Thank you to Matthew, our Funeral Director and the team supporting Samson Bairstow & Sons today.

The lilies were beautiful- so strong in fragrance too.
