Tribute
Wozencroft In a tribute to the late Margaret
Jean Wozencroft (see above),
MARY LONGSON and SUSAN SCOBIE, write:
Her many friends will be shocked
to learn of Margaret’s death after a mercifully short period of
illness.
Most of her professional life was spent in Manchester, although she hailed
from Derbyshire and first came to the north-west to attend Manchester
University. After a year’s preregistration experience at the Westminister
Hospital, Margaret was appointed pharmacist to the Central Manchester
Health Authority, where she remained for over 20 years, ultimately as
head of pharmaceutical services. Her many colleagues in the hospital
were greatly impressed by her efficient, no nonsense approach to whatever
task presented itself.
Early retirement gave Margaret the opportunity to follow other interests,
although she continued to serve the hospitals as chairman of the local
research ethics committee, where her wise counsel was much appreciated.
The Whitworth Art Gallery occupied a lot of her time; the Friends of
the Whitworth and her duties as a tutor and room steward were important
to her.
The award of an Open University honours degree in fine arts was the culmination
of hard work and a source of great pride. Nearer home, and apart from
continuing to carry out locums in a local community pharmacy, Margaret
took on the role of secretary to the Hale Civic Society. A busy woman,
her life was tragically cut short by the recurrence of cancer.
Margaret’s friendship meant a great deal to us and she will be
remembered with affection and respect not only by her closest friends
but by the many people whose lives she touched.
We would like to extend our sympathies to her mother, her husband Brian,
her brother David and all the family.
