Suzanne Gough died while on holiday in Jersey. She had a long spell in hospital about a year ago but was recovering well. She was born in the Children's Hospital, now St. Lukes, because her mother was a nurse there. Matron Harrall was her godmother. She and her late sister, Margaret, grew up in Marlborough. Starting at St Mary's Infants' School she became lifelong friends with Janet Biggs (Palmer) and Rosemary Cooper (Dobson). She trained as a teacher at Weymouth College and taught in Swindon, finally as Head of Ferndale Infants' School. She sang with the Kennet Singers for 24 years and did an annual comedy sketch with Janet as part of their show. She was a member of Lockeridge 60+ Club. Her friends and neighbours were shocked and saddened by her death
