With regret we start the new year with sad news about the passing of Barbara Turnbull, who will be remembered for her tireless campaigning for ME services in North Wales and her kindness and support to many families. We send our condolences to her family.

“On behalf of Barbara Turnbull’s family I am sorry to have to tell you that Barbara passed away peacefully on Wednesday 12th December with her son by her bedside. The funeral takes place at 12 noon on Friday 4th January at the new crematorium in Northop / Connah’s Quay.

The family have few records from the Clwyd ME Support Group which Barbara founded and ran for many years, and have asked me to contact people who knew her. Barbara was a great support to many many pwme in North Wales for many years and I’m sure there will be many who will be saddened by her passing.

Yours, Anne Cutress

(friend and one time Trustee of the Clwyd ME Support Group)”
