In loving memory of Toussi Ghadimi Walton who sadly passed away on 31st March 2024.

Born in Tus, near Mashad Northern Iran, she left university in Tehran in her early 20’s to travel to Europe as part of an Iranian government scheme to modernise their healthcare by training Nurses and Midwives in modern practices. We were lucky that she landed in Kidderminster rather than Paris or Rome. For during her time there she met and eventually married her Ronnie in 1955.

They were lucky to be able to spend the next 50 years together, after a brief return to Iran they returned in 1960 and spent almost 45 of those happy years on Compton Road, Pedmore, Stourbridge.

There together until Ronnie passed in 2005.

The long and fruitful relationship with Ronnie was mirrored by an equal one working as Staff Nurse first in the Casualty at Corbett Hospital before finishing her NHS career at the A&E at Russell’s Hall. Helping countless people manage their unexpected visit to the casualty with a strength of character that belied her size.

In between she was mother, and mentor, to her three children Jane, Paul and Soraya.

She timed her retirement well to allow her to take on the duties of grandma Toussi for what became 8 grandchildren and a little later a brace of great grandchildren.

After Ronnie’s passing she eventually settled into a new life at Elizabeth House, Lye making new friends as she always did whilst continuing her role as mom, grandma and great grandma.

Whilst going to the reception one evening in late June ‘23 to practise her hobby of people watching she fell and broke her leg. The experience was draining but she did recover but with very limited mobility and a desperate desire to get up and out of bed to practise her other hobby coffee and cake that wasn’t to be.

Remember her as that loving little lady who had time and love for all whilst carrying a lot of sadness in her heart for of those who she had loved, many of whom she had not been able to speak to before they died. The only minor benefit of Covid was with the assistance of the internet it shrank the world and allowed her a fleeting glimpse of the family she in Iran.

A wonderful woman that touched the hearts and souls of many…

Many Christmas and Boxing days shared eating food and playing Trivial Pursuit. She will be dearly missed.

I will remember Toussi for her vibrant and loving character. Growing up I would spend time with Toussi & Ron on Christmas Day or Boxing Day or visit their home to eat the best Persian food and hear the most fascinating stories. In many ways I am so cultured due to their presence in my life and would like to thank Toussi and all the family for some of the most precious childhood memories I have.
Rest in Peace xxx

  • Loved our Christmas get together with Tussi and Ron at Jennifer and Paul’s. Jennifer is my sister and my children Natasha and Stefan and my mum who had also passed always looked forward to these family gatherings. Tussi was such an inspiration to me and my children so kind and loving. She will be greatly missed. Rest in peace with Ron. Condolences to all the family. Florence, Natasha and Stefan xxx

Fondly remembered from Corbett Casualty and Russells Hall in the 1980's. Toussie was a hard working, no nonense team member who had a permanent smile and time for everyone
