It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Helen Batten.
We have lost a dear friend and valued colleague. Helen joined the practice staff in 1989, and it has been a true privilege to work with her.
Helen was an extraordinary person, and is a great loss to the medical centre and to the village community as a whole.
She will be profoundly missed by everyone whose lives she touched, and we remember her kindness and sense of humour with a smile.
A Book of Condolence is available at reception – please ask to see it if you would like to leave a personal message.
We will post information about funeral arrangements as soon as we have some details.
Thank you.
