MARY WHEELER – FORMER MEMBER OF STAFF AT ALVESCOT LODGE

It is with great sadness that I must advise branches that Mary Wheeler passed away suddenly at home on Thursday 19th April 2018.

Mary commenced employment for the POEU in 1978 and was the face of Alvescot Lodge until her retirement in 2014.

During her 36 years service, Mary made a huge contribution over these many years to both the CWU and its predecessor unions. Her warmth and dedication in making our students attending Alvescot Lodge feel welcome and at ease from day one will be appreciated by all those who met her. Mary was at the heart of our residential education centre and she will be greatly missed by her friends and ex-colleagues in the union.

At this sad time our thoughts are of course with Mary’s family, especially her daughter – Tracey Bushrod, who you will know heads up the Catering and Domestic department at Alvescot.

On behalf of the CWU, I convey our deepest sympathy and condolences to Tracey and other family members.

Mary’s funeral arrangements will be announced in due course.

Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Lee Wakeman (lwakeman@cwu.org)

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward

General Secretary
