All her working life she had been a dedicated Nurse, Midwife and District Nurse. She may have been small of stature but that frame was packed with a glowing personality that radiated out to all she met: much loved and respected by family, friends and former patients alike.
She was for many, many years an ardent Spiritualist, for her this meant interpreting and seeking the spirituality in herself, in others, in the world, and also exploring the philosophy of spirituality. The following quotation best describes her approach to her religion.
" Spiritualism may be described as being a deep understanding of the full meaning of Life in it's broadest possible sense. For Spiritualists are concerned with all aspects of Life, both material and spiritual."
The Seven Principles of Spiritualism
1. The Fatherhood of God.
2. The Brotherhood of Man.
3. The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels.
4. The continuous existence of the human soul.
5. Personal Responsibility.
6. Compensation and retribution here or hereafter for all good and evil deeds done on earth.
7. Eternal progress open to every human soul.
Liberty of interpretation is assured to all.
As set down by the Spiritualist Nation Union.
