Ann Soanes RIP
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Ann Soanes, widow of our long-serving former Chairman John Soanes.
Ann was a tremendous suppport to John throughout his many responsibilities as an RN Petty Officer, Senior Police Officer and Chairman of both Torbay Branch of the RNA and the TON Class Association.
She was well-respected and much loved by TCA members and a live wire in the informal TCA Wives Network.
Ann's funeral will be held at Torbay Crematorium on 5th September, at 10.30.
TCA Chaplain Rev Trevor Filtness and Jim Virgo will represent the Association at the funeral and other members are welcome to attend.
A Video Link of the occasion will shortly be available to assist members not able to travel.
