Beryl Hedges

Some sad news.

Beryl Hedges – a founding member of the Friends of the Museum, a former chair and volunteer and an avid museum supporter – passed away in mid-January. Her funeral was held today at St George’s Chapel. Beryl was a key member of that enthusiastic and determined group of supporters who fund-raised, campaigned and petitioned from the 1980s for a permanent Museum. Her delight at seeing it being officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in December 2011 can only be imagined!

Beryl was also an active member of the Windsor Local History Group. She regularly contributed to the annual Windlesora journal and published several books. In her later years, Beryl was Honorary President.

The Friends send their condolences to Beryl’s daughters Wendy and Jackie, and to their families. You can learn more about her and her contribution to Windsor in Beryl’s obituary by her good friend, Brigitte Mitchell.
