I’m very sorry to have to tell you that Sue Raymond passed away in hospital last night. Sue had been a member of DR for eleven years and was for a time a member of the committee. Until recently she and Colin (and their skull and crossbones flag) were a familiar part of our rambles.
I met Sue on my very first DR ramble back in 2009 and we got on well straightaway. Sue was a straight talking, witty, always up for a challenge, very generous person and was a keen attender at DR rambles where she had many friends, and also on HRA rambles here in Hampshire and she and hubby Colin, rarely missed a ramble until the last year or so when suddenly her health started to deteriorate. Several years ago she acquired her beloved “Darley” TGA Supersport scooter and complete with her trademark skull and crossbones flag they had a super time exploring the countryside both around their home and on the organised rambles. It was a shock to learn of her passing away and her presence will be missed by all of us who knew her. Many happy memories of Sue always accompanied and looked after so well by Colin. Val
