I am sorry to announce the sad news that our board regular Margaret McDonald lost her lovely gentle husband Alec yesterday afternoon 15th Nov 2024.
Margaret said Alec was 87 and died as he lived, quietly without any fuss. With him were Andrew & Pamela & Margaret’s brother & his wife.
Alec was a quiet gentle person and always supported his wife Margaret in whatever she did.
He was a Local History enthusiast like his wife is, and for 21 years was Treasurer of
‘Jarrow and Hebburn Local History Society’ . Alec supported Margaret forming the
‘Hebburn Family History Group’ that meet in ‘The Hub’ on Thursday evenings.
I myself have met Alec a few times & what a lovely man he was.RIP Alec.
