Zoe Dowson
An extract
from the obituary in Hilltop News, December 2008
Zoe Dowson died on 25th September, peacefully at home, at the age of 95. It was in 1963 that Zoe and Dick, together with their two children, moved from Prestwood to The Lee.
Zoe much enjoyed, and was well known for, her ever-increasing family of animals. Her dogs, cats, ponies, goats, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, pigs and even heifers, for a short while, made Kingswood House a landmark and kept her extremely busy!
During this period of nearly 20 years Zoe gave generously of her time to the Derby and Joan Club and her cooking at Pony Club Camp was legendary! Together with Dick, she also delivered meals-on-wheels for many years.
It was 26 years ago that Zoe and Dick moved to Russet Barn in Buckland Common where Zoe continued to enjoy the friendships she had made in her early years in the neighbourhood and was able to continue to share her wisdom and strong Christian values with so many friends. She herself was a good and faithful friend and a constant source of help and encouragement to so many people.
Thank you, Zoe. You lived a good life and a full one.
