In memory of Mary

I have known Mary for 40+ years through Amateur Radio and the Mansfield Radio Club.
For many years she supported and attended events that we put on.
One year the club took part in a 48-hour radio contest on the farmers field behind her house, we put up tall pole masts for the antennas, with Mary and Gerald helping.
For many years Mary kept on trying to get me to take my morse test to enable me to operate on the short wave bands, as my ‘B’ class licence G8EHX at that time only allowed me to operate on VHF & UHF frequencies. I was always busy and did not have time to learn morse.
At the end of 1993 I left BT after working there for almost 30 years, taking a nice redundancy package. Not long afterwards Mary said to me on the radio that I have some “spare time now”, so for the next 6 months, many afternoons on the radio, Mary taught me morse code. I took the test and just managed to pass; this then gave me a new call sign G0UYQ allowing me to operate on all amateur radio frequencies. Unfortunately, I did not keep using the morse and nowadays have lost the art.
Over years we have enjoyed many a conversation both over the radio and in person.
She will be missed by us all and the many radio operators Mary spoke or used morse to talk with.

With lots of love and fond memories of our morning chats. Xx

With love from Brian, Anita and Carolyn

I only met you a few times Mary. You made me feel part of your family. I am ade lowes soul mate and you saw that. I still hold dear the beautiful ring you gave me that you wore as a young girl. I am sorry that I didn't know you for longer. You and Gerald were a loving couple that I enjoyed a few short wonderful memories with. May you rest in peace beautiful lady with the ancestors that have been waiting for your presence in their timeless realm. Sam
