Jean and Richard (Dick) Lees
At the end of September Jean and Dick will be moving from the village to be nearer their daughter in Yorkshire.
Both Jean and Richard were stalwarts of the Village since they arrived in the early 1980’s. She regularly attended ‘St John the Baptist Church’ and a member of the ‘Mothers Union’.
Jean being a committed member of, “The Women’s Institute”; she held the posts of Treasurer and President during her 27 years and initiated the first “Village Show” in 1983. |  | The photograph shows Jean having been presented with a bouquet of flowers at the Village Show on Saturday 13th September 2008.
From the outset of arriving in the village Jean immersed herself in village life and the many activities. She was a trustee of ‘Morton Town Lands’ a Parish Councillor and a supporter of the Village Hall, being a committee member for many years and helping to raise funds with her husband Dick who was Secretary of the Village Hall for many years.
Dick was responsible for securing many grants which saw huge improvements to the hall.
Dick was also a member of the Morton Branch of the British Legion.
Jean and Dick will be sorely missed in the village. | | | COMMUNITY STAGNATES WITHOUT THE IMPULSE OT THE INDIVIDUAL.
