Sandie O'Brien's Album: Wall Photos

Photo 2 of 2 in Wall Photos

Shaughn and I lived next to Lalage for nearly 20 years. I have never met anyone like Lalage she was in my mind, a truly amazing woman! We didn’t live in each other’s pockets but we helped each other on all levels, she was a true neighbour.

We celebrated birthdays and high holidays and had some good times together, she was always so enthusiastic and up for anything and everything, all of us staying late at parties!

Lalage cared about people and could talk to anyone, she spent a lot of time organising and making things happen (very meticulously, a great delegator!), mostly for the entertainment and education of others.

Lalage took great care of her cousin Val even though she was older and so much more infirm herself. She was extremely proud of all her family and was always talking about them. Her strength of character and sense of purpose never dimmed, she will be missed by many.

The photo below shows Professor Bown (Lalage) receiving her sixth honorary doctorate, this time from UCS* during its first graduation ceremony in 2018. Lalage very kindly invited us to the ceremony.
