The funeral for Betty will take place on TUESDAY MAY 13th at Great Budworth Parish Church at 11am
I feel sure that both Julie & Mike, Bill & Mel and other family members will take great comfort from seeing a sizable representation of Wittoners sharing their thoughts.
Chad,
Sorry to sound ignorant, but who was Betty Banister, and what was her connection with Julie, Mike and WAFC?
Sorry, thought most would know. Betty was the widow of Fred Bannister and therefore Julie Bannister - Mike Worthington’s partner - parents.
Her sad death was announced on Saturday evening and if you read some of Mike’s reasoning for resigning he refers to Betty’s long illness with Julie staying with her mother.
I’m gutted for Julie and Mike. I’ve seen Julie with her mum and she was always by her side ensuring she was ok. I know from personal experience what its like looking after elderly parents though my mum is still going all be it rather fraily at 85!!
If Mike and Julie read this please accept my condolances. This will be a very sad time for you and I hope you get through it ok and perhaps remember the good times you had with Betty and Fred.
I hope whe you feel ready you’ll be back at the club and accept a large drink of myself not just for your bereavement but for all you’ve done for our club and I hope things you might do in the future. Despite what you might think everyone at Witton admires your hard work and dedication and we also consider you friends and big players in our Witton family!! Sincere best wishes!
Mike,Julie please accept my sincere condolences.
Steve
