More than 80 tributes have been left to people from Devon who have died recently. Among them is Ann Rosemary Retallick, a former cook at Abbey School in Torquay, whose family says she will be “sadly missed and lovingly remembered”.
Every week, we carry out the longstanding tradition of announcing the deaths of people in our community. Last week, the family of Beverly Wheatley, the founder of five businesses of Tiverton’s Gold Street, announced her death and said her “unassuming but warm nature, quick wit and friendliness will be greatly missed.”
The notices, along with in memoriams and acknowledgements, are initially published to funeral-notices.co.uk. They remain online permanently where others are able to add their own photos, tributes and donations.
The most up-to-date notices in Devon can be found here.
Below are the death and funeral notices published earlier this week:
