Gloria Stephenson (nee Ruddick), our beautiful, brave and clever Mam, was tragically killed on the 16th of May.

Gloria was loved by so many. She was a much loved mam, mother in law, grandma, great grandma, sister, sister in law and friend.

Gloria was fit and healthy, and had years left to live, to love, and to be loved. She would have continued to live her life to the full if not for her untimely and violent death, for which we are utterly devastated.

In Gloria’s memory, we are collecting donations to be equally divided between Saint Benedict’s Hospice and the Great North Air Ambulance Service, who tried so hard to save our Mam.
