We would like you to join us in celebrating the life of Val Hawksfield who sadly passed away on the 22nd September 2026 after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer.

Val was one of the most genuine and kind people and lived life to to the full. She always had time for everyone and had countless stories of the fun she got up to. The overwhelming support through her battle and the reaction to her passing truly showed how special she was to so many people.

A service will be held at St Lawrence Church in Bidborough at 10am on the 23rd October. Due to limited church capacity, seating will be allocated by invitation. However, the service will be streamed online and a showing of this will be held in Bidborough School hall next to the church. There will also be the opportunity to say a final goodbye as she leaves the church.

After the service, please join us for refreshments at Old Farm, Lamberhurst Quarter, TN3 8AS.

The dress code is smart casual and pops of colour are more than welcome.

We kindly ask for no flowers as Val had asked for donations to be made to the Hospice in the Weald instead. This can be done through the link on this page. There is also a section if you wish to upload a message, story or favourite memory or even a favourite image.

For planning purposes, please RSVP to 07712570332 or bhawksfield@gmail.com.

Words cannot truly express what an amazing woman Val was. She was the heart and soul of many people’s lives. You only have to read the messages to understand what she meant to everybody. She was special and we are so grateful to have spent many fun times together. You will be greatly missed Val, but never forgotten. Love to Les, Beth, Owen, Will, Woody and all the family.
