Geena was born in Shefford, Bedfordshire on November 02, 1940, the eldest of three sisters. Her father was in the RAF and so they moved around the world: first to Singapore and later to Germany where she was in boarding school with her middle sister, Valerie. The family settled in Lincolnshire, and it was while at RAF Waddington that she met Pat who would become her husband, despite the fact that he "ran away" to Kenya; sent there by the RAF. But they were not to be parted and she flew out to Nairobi in 1968 where they were married. They returned to the UK in 1970, to Lincolnshire, and in 1974 Neil was born, while Pat was on his Officer's training course. There followed postings to Wiltshire, where Steven was born in 1976. A move to Cambridgeshire came in 1979 and it was there that they put down their roots for good. Pat continued to serve, travelling weekly until he managed to get posted to RAF Brampton, a few miles away from the family home. Geena was very active in the local area, joining the WI and helping to run the local Village Hall. She enjoyed knitting and craft work, becoming a dab hand at "iris-folding" and "decoupage" for greetings cards. Her weekly get-together with her friends (aka "cronies") enabled them to chat, eat biscuits and, perhaps, even do some craftwork! When Pat and the boys started playing cricket for Upwood, she involved herself in producing fantastic teas for the matches and it was there she was known as "Mrs T" by one and all. The arrival of her first grandchild, Katie Grace, in 2005 coincided with Pat retiring from full-time work and, unfortunately, her diagnosis with Parkinson's disease. Although the effects were minimal at first, over time they became more and more restricting, but Geena bore the difficulties with her usual good humour. Four more grandchildren; Rosie, Oliver, George and Florence arrived over the next few years much to our total delight and Geena received much joy and comfort from them. The effects of the disease became much worse as time went on and in late 2012, after a series of tests, it was confirmed that it wasn't Parkinson's that had been causing her condition, but another neurological ailment that was both degenerative and incurable. The effects worsened and in Feb 2013 she was admitted to the local nursing home, where Pat visited her daily and, whenever possible, propelled her about in her wheelchair to friends, the local pub for family lunches, visits to the local park with the family and even to the local cricket ground where she used to spend so much of her weekends. Her many friends visited often and the arrival of her grandchildren always made her face light up with joy. During 2013 the disease's effects worsened to such an extent that she was fed by tube overnight as she couldn't swallow and her speech failed completely. Following a chest infection she was admitted to Hinchinbrooke Hospital on 5th May 2014 and, despite the best efforts of the doctors and nurses, she passed away peacefully in her sleep on 30th May. She is much loved and missed and will never be forgotten by her friends and family.
