Sheena Harold, Teddington

This is my old friend Sheena Harold, who has died at the age of 80.

 

Sheena had been active in the Teddington Society here in west London for some 25 years – where, with colleagues, she organised and launched events that raised many thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes. She chaired the Society from 2015 to the time of her passing.

 

In addition to her Society work, Sheena did much more besides, not just in Teddington but also across the Borough of Richmond upon Thames. So it was entirely fitting that in 2017 she was presented with the Richmond Borough Community Award for her outstanding public service.

 

Sheena, a good friend for nearly 15 years, was by any measure unique, and an altogether remarkable woman. For anyone who knew, liked or loved her, she’s irreplaceable.

 

So this small tribute on Flickr is by way of expressing thanks for her unceasing activity, her devotion to the Teddington community, as well as her warmth, generosity, humour… oh, and the occasional glass of Prosecco, too, which never went amiss!

 

I took this photograph of Sheena at the Teddington Village Fair (of which she was so much a part) in 2016.
