MRS Agnes Ellison (nee Kirtlan) of Dill Hall Lane, Church, has died aged 93 in the Royal Blackburn Hospital.

Born in Blackburn, she moved to Clayton-le-Moors when she married her husband, the late James (Jim), and then moved to Dill Hall Lane, where the couple lived for 56 years.

A member of Clayton-le-Moors Mothers’ Club and Enfield Cricket Club, she was a devoted family woman who got great pleasure from knitting, making numerous blankets for various charities. She had an open house policy, always welcoming people into her home.
