Remembering Hilary Newton
Posted: 18/04/2017
It is with a heavy heart that we report the death of our friend and colleague, Hilary Newton (Academic Staff 1992-2012).
Hilary, along with her husband Bob, began their twenty-year journey at Bromsgrove in 1992 and navigated it with such passion and joy. Seven years after joining the School, Hilary and Bob were appointed as Cobham Houseparents, always making the pupils feel secure when they were such a long way from home. Even during the holidays, they ran Easter trips to places such as Hyde House in Dorset where pupils could develop skills such as sailing and raft building.
There will be a funeral service for Hilary at Canley Crematorium, Canon Hill Road, Coventry, CV4 7DF at
2.30pm on
27th April. All welcome to attend.
Family flowers only but there will be an opportunity on the day to make a donation to Myton Hospice in recognition of the superb care that Hilary received in her final days. A
JustGiving page has also been set up by the family for this purpose.
Following the service, everyone is welcome to join the family for light refreshments at 15 Littleton Close, Kenilworth, CV8 2WA.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob and family during this time.
