Evelyn Hall
Very sadly Evelyn Hall died early on Friday 15th July, in Roxburghe House, Aberdeen, where she had been for the previous week. She remained comfortable throughout her final days and received the very best of care. Family and friends have been wonderful in their support.
MAROC and Scottish Orienteering will be forever hugely grateful to Evelyn for her unstinting work during many years of active involvement and of course for her unfailingly cheery self.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Ken, Philip, Julie and the grandchildren.
The service will be on Thursday 21st at 11.30 am in the East Chapel at Aberdeen Crematorium, to which all her friends are warmly invited.
