Remembering Terry Ivens

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our long-serving treasurer, Terry Ivens. Terry was such a kind and happy, gentleman who looked after our financial affairs with dedication for many years. Outside of accounting, he was passionate about music and had taught himself to play the guitar.

Some of you may have met him at our AGMs, where his warmth and professionalism were always appreciated. He also recently attended our latest online Zoom AGM.

His funeral has taken place but donations in his memory are welcomed for Coventry & Warwickshire Kidney Patients’ Association.

Enquiries to The Rugby Funeral Home, 104 Hillmorton Road, Rugby, CV22 5AL,
