Category: Obituaries
The obituaries section in the Blackmore Vale is a sub section of the Death announcements on the website. It is where we place the celebrations of the lives of certain local people, those who have lead notable lives in the public eye, or those who figured largely within the Blackmore Vale community.
The Blackmore Vale is fortunate to be served by many wonderful people from all walks of life. These people have served their community in various ways from public figures to private endeavours.
These pages celebrate and tell the story of some of their lives. Never forgotten, always cherished by those who knew and were affected by them. These pages will forever be a testament to their lives.
