Friends of Adrienne Easterbrook, who tragically died last month, have raised more than £1,000 to thank intensive care staff in her memory. Adrienne, who worked as general manager of Energus in Workington, died on December 9 after a short illness. Her friend, Michelle Tinnion, 44, from Dearham, had done many fundraising events for Hospice at Home and was always supported by Adrienne. She had helped with events such as girls’ nights, raffle tickets and finding prizes. She said a group of Adrienne’s friends wanted to do something special for her, for when she came home after being in hospital and they each contributed towards a hamper.

Coping with bereavement during the COVID-19 pandemic
An award-winning Cumbrian funeral director says her and her staff are doing everything they can to help people cope with the loss of a loved one during the coronavirus pandemic.
Government regulations brought in to stem the spread of pandemic have meant there is a set number of people who can physically attend a funeral or service, meaning many people cannot say goodbye to their loved ones in person.
Jill Glencross, Independent Funeral Director of Dalston, said since starting her own family business in 2018, her and her staff strive to help families by going above and beyond, caring for loved ones like they were their own and the pandemic has made this ethos even more important.
