| ELAINE SEYFERT 22ND SEPTEMBER 1968 - 10TH FEBRUARY 2009 |
We were all sad to hear of the death of Elaine Seyfert, a keen member of Gettaway and former Lifestyle Choices student, on 10th February. In her gentle, thoughtful way, Elaine was a woman of many parts and many talents. As well as her involvement with Gettaway and formerly Lifestyle Choices, she was a popular member of Bestwood Day Centre, where she particularly enjoyed working on Reception, doing Arts and Crafts, and socialising with other members. She was also a keen cook, and worker one day a week as a kitchen assistant at Ernehale Lea. To her housemates and Valley Road, Elaine was a "Mum" figure, who looked out for those more vulnerable than herself. She was a good listener, and good at cheering up people who were upset. |

| For the past six years Elaine was also a keen member of "Faith and Light" at West Bridgford Methodist Church, and popular both within the group and the church at large. On 6th December, although she was already quite poorly, Elaine braved the freezing weather to come to York for the annual Faith and Light (Midlands and North) carol singing. Elaine faced her last illness with courage and dignity. On 23rd February people from all parts of her life gathered at West Bridgford Methodist Church to give thanks for what she meant to them and the difference she had made to their lives. Our thoughts are particularly with her Dad, her brother Frank, her sisters Anna and Marion, and her gentleman friend Kevin at this sad time. |
