Summary
A generous Irish-born woman, Maura Swift, who passed away at 84, left a heartfelt legacy: a £5,000 gift to our Christmas Hamper Appeal to help others feel less alone this holiday season. Born in 1942, she moved to London in the 60s, worked as a paralegal—including handling royal identity documents—and was a lifelong socialist with deep ties to Cuba. A devoted reader of our paper, she loved music from The Kinks to Irish folk and held strong atheist beliefs. In her will, she also donated to Camden charities, requested no church service, and gave her body to medical science. Her family honored her with a memorial, and we’re deeply grateful for her enduring kindness. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
