A memory book is being circulated at CRH to celebrate the life of popular main desk receptionist Gillian Appleyard who has sadly died suddenly whilst on holiday in Cyprus.

Gillian's funeral will take place on Tuesday (18th June) at 2.15pm at Park Wood Crematorium in Elland.

Gillian worked weekday afternoons for almost four years at CRH.

ISS Supervisor, Helen Allen, told us "Gill was a truly professional, caring and valuable employee who was loved by everyone who met her. She will be truly missed by the team and we are extremely grateful to have had Gill as part of our team".

And Carol Nuttal, from the Pharmacy Office at CRH, said "I know this lovely lady knew lots of people within the Trust as well as patients and visitors, and thought they would like to know details of her funeral".

Gillian was married to Ian and had two daughters Sarah and Charlotte and the family has requested  donation to British Heart Foundation at the funeral.
