MRS DOREEN TOVEY-by
Mrs Jean Murchison with apologies for the late publication |

It
was with sadness we learned of the death of Doreen who had been
President of the Siamese Cat Club for over 20 years, a lovely lady
who will be much missed. Doreen, as so many of you are aware,was a
very talented author and wrote numerous books on Siamese which
became world famous – to this day I still get letters from the
public telling me the pleasure her books have given them and where
and when they could obtain them – I also understand the originals
are now being reprinted.
As Secretary of the Club I got to know
Doreen well – and when our AGMs were held in London,she was always
there to present the trophies and talk cats, despite the long
journey from her home. In latter years she arranged for a driver to
bring her from Somerset to our Annual Show which she adored – so
many Siamese to look at – they were the love of her life. As
President she was much loved and respected and since becoming
President had written articles for all our Newsletters which were a
delight to read and much looked forward to, fortunately all these
are held in our Archives and we hope to reprint these each year in
our Newsletter. I understand from Pauline Furber she was also a
very talented artist which was something we were unaware of and Pauline has
many hand painted tiles to remember her by.
Doreen died on the 13th
January 2008 at 89 years of age – her funeral was held on the 31st of
January and a service was held at the Church in the village of
Rowberrow, Somerset where she had lived for many years. Donations
in her memory to the RNLI – I understand this was her wish as her
late husband was a seaman who died many years ago.
The Chairman, Committee and members send their deepest sympathy to
her family members, and close friends. |

style card on the website please e mail your details to the
address at the bottom of the page.This is a free service for members
and is currently being redone |
