Gladys Watchorn (1920-2011)
Gladys Watchorn, was an old girl of the Girls’ Central School, Grantham, where she was a head girl and continued to go to reunions.
On leaving school she worked in the Neway library, Westgate, before going to the stock control department of Ruston and Hornsby.
While at the library she met Arthur, which at that time was only around the corner from his butchers shop.
They married in 1947 at St John’s Church, Grantham, and she joined him in running the well-known family butchers business in Westgate, Grantham, until their retirement.
In retirement the couple had more time to concentrate on the many hobbies and interests they both had – Grantham Indoor Bowling Club; travelling around the UK and America; socialising and much more with the many friends they made.
The couple died within a few days of each other.
