Christine Elizabeth Pownall (16 Dec 1970 - 12 Apr 2022)

Still here . Empty hearted.

I knew Christine through her all-too-brief association with the Queen's English Society. An absolutely delightful person, lost far too soon. My deepest condolences to her husband, sons, other family, friends, colleagues and pupils.

Christine was one of the loveliest women I have ever met. She was highly intelligent, had a razor-sharp wit balanced with kindness, thoughtfulness and love - she was awful damned pretty, too. Christine never suffered fools gladly so it's a wonder she was so fond of me. The bountiful happiness Christine shared with Ian and the boys can never be measured. Her character and all-round goodness will stay nested within me for as long as I live.

Everyone has fair-weather friends aplenty. Christine was our all-weather friend. Zealously loyal and protective. We were privileged that she was our friend. Sleep well, good friend.

A beautiful lady, a wonderful friend. Christine, you will be missed so much. Absolutely heartbroken that you are no longer here, but pleased that you are at peace. I will miss you so much, nothing was ever too much trouble for you. God bless xxxx

A beautiful lady inside and out who would do anything to help anyone if it was within her power, truly blessed to have known such a beautiful soul. Rest in peace now Christine, you will be missed by so many.

Christine was a beautiful lady with a heart of gold. No more suffering, sleep tight xxx
