Condolences to the family of Hannah and sorry to hear of Hannah’s passing. Hannah was a lovely lady and a friend to all. She was a valued member of the Westport Beekeepers Association and seldom missed a meeting. She would be one of the first people on site to help out at all the occasions and demonstrations that WBKA would have a stand at, even at our club’s apiary and meeting when it was over she would be going about picking up papers and putting everything back as we found it, certainly a great volunteer for our club. Her love for nature and farming was very much evident and often discussed with other members. We will miss her banter and help she gave us over the many years. May her gentle soul Rest In Peace.
