Death of Margaret Gwenllian Todd (nee Jones)

Jacques Venter (BUC Associate Executive Secretary)

We were saddened to learn of the death of Margaret Todd on 22 May 2020. Margaret was born on 10 July 1938 in Walthamsthow and spent her childhood and youth in Barry. Margaret came in contact with Adventists when a friend invited her to a youth camp. In 1957 she accepted Jesus Christ as her Saviour and was baptised. On 2 June 1968 Margaret married Nigel Ronald Todd. Their union brought about their daughter Katrina.

Margaret entered employment within the British Union Conference in 1960 as a teacher for Hyland House School in the South England Conference. She left Hyland House in 1971 when she gave birth to Katrina and returned in 1989. She continued to serve Hyland House as teacher until her retirement in 2000.

Margaret will be remembered for her kind spirit. She was strong and modelled love to the children under her care. We now look forward with her family, to Christ's soon return and that glorious resurrection day. Please pray for the family as they navigate the funeral plans during this difficult period.
