Vale Edna Ford

We had many a laugh, and loved to recall to our times in the west end of Newcastle.

To a wonderful lass, may the angels shine on you.

Edna came into Melville's life  many years ago when we needed a "Geordie" voice coach. Edna's son saw this appeal and recommended his mother. A slightly reluctant Edna came along and both sides were hooked! When we discovered that she played the piano and loved doing so, that was it and Edna became a much loved and respected member of the theatre. Since then there were very few shows that did not involve 'our Edna', pouring out tea, selling raffle tickets and playing the piano in the interval.

Theatre Company gatherings usually involved an old- fashioned sing- song, especially our Christmas parties with carol singing!

Sadly with the passing of time Edna's involvment had to lessen and early this year she and Monty moved to an aged care facility. Monty died a few months ago.

Rest well Edna you deserve it. Join the other theatre members wh have recently left us and have a party  and a good sing-along 'up there'!
