The long life of Peggy Dodson – 'supergran' –is celebrated with a service at St Lucius' Church

If anyone had the right to be called Mrs Farnley, it was surely Peggy Dodson, who was laid to rest on August 3, at the age of 100.

A home in Manor Road, connections with the Golden Cock, the farming community, the Women's Institute and St Lucius', where she worshipped for many years, made her instantly recognisable and sealed that status.

​Her late husband, Stanley, shopkeeper and leader of the local shoot, was held in equal regard.

Peggy's warmth, kindness and outgoing nature were legendary. Small wonder her grandaughter, Alexandra, referred to her at the Thanksgiving Service at St Lucius' as 'Supergran'.

​A long life well lived. May she rest in peace.
