Tribute to Brenda Campion27 March 1926 - 17 January 2014

Brenda Campion died peacefully at Northampton General Hospital earlier this yearafter a short illness. She was the younger of two girls born to the late PhilipCampion MBE and Vera Kate nee Collins in Grimscote and attended the ColdHigham School and the Northampton School for Girls.

She remembered with nostalgia the Guide Camps of 1939 led by Kath Morse, thecamp fire at dusk inspiring a lifelong joy of poetry, love of family and friends, and astrong Christian faith.

In 1942 she completed her Apothecaries Hall Certificate as a Dispenser remarkingin her life story how she loved the brass moulds, scales and weights, the shelves tothe ceiling containing beetles, roots, bark and leaves which formed the basis ofapothecaries remedies. She was always proud to serve as a Wren during theSecond World War and this led to her meeting and eventually marrying WilliamStrang in Chile in 1948. The next twenty years were to see married life taking her toBirmingham, Buenos Aires and Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, these were to be the birthplaces of each of her three children, Nigel, Timothy and Nicola. Brenda inspiredothers to share their faith and her love of the English language, returning to Chile inthe 1980s to join two of her children there. She discovered her exceptional talentsas a teacher of English as a foreign language spending several years in El Soldadoin the north of Chile. El Soldado is an open-cut copper mine producing 50,000tonnes of fine copper a year. Brenda taught many of the senior managers therewhile enjoying the breathtaking splendours of the desert flowers on her walks in theregion.

She was proud of her four grandchildren, Abigail and Philip who were born in Chile,and Kirran and Lizzie born in the UK. She followed the footsteps of her Great AuntBee to Kashmir and climbed to the base camp of Mount Everest. Alone onChocolate Hill, Gallipoli she touched on the traumas of the First World Wardescribed so clearly in her father Philip Campion’s memoirs with which she wasentrusted. Her book collection provided her with many years of enjoyable hours ofadventure as she journeyed through the writings of others. She has passed theseon with her life stories and those of her family to her children. She focused her life’swork on loving her family dearly, on helping friends and being a caring steward offamily treasures, the family tree and history. She enjoyed a faith that matured andenabled those she loved to discover their own. She committed her life tostrengthening those around her and leaves behind many a grateful heart.

Nigel Strang and his brother and sister thank everyone who sent cards; somecontaining anecdotal memories of Brenda, and condolences.

Pattishall Good Neighbours ClubIt is hard to believe that we are a third of the way into the year and during that timewe have been very active. Unfortunately several members have been or are inhospital and we wish them a speedy recovery and hope they will be with us joiningin our forthcoming activities.

February‘s visiting speaker was one of our own parishioners, Gail Stuart whocaptured our full attention for over an hour telling us about life with her father EricMorecambe. Our numbers on this occasion were doubled, having so many visitorsjoining us for this most memorable afternoon.

In March John & Cathy Barker, two of our members, provided us with an afternoonof entertainment, Cathy singing and John accompanying her on the keyboard orwith his violin. Thank you both.

In April we had a much-awaited return visit by the Towcester Choral Society. It reallywas a delight to have them singing for us again so beautifully.

In May we have Sue Pace who some of you will remember as practice nurse atBugbrooke telling us about her voluntary work raising funds and the provision ofschools in Tanzania.

June takes us out on the first of our day trips to Lichfield and on to the NationalArboretum and War Memorials where we shall be given a tour and have tea beforeour return home.

All in all we are having a very enjoyable time and if you are aged fifty or over andhave the time we shall be pleased for you to join us.

Alan White, Chairman.
