Elizabeth Nam

It is with great regret and sadness that we have to inform you of the untimely passing of dear Elizabeth Nam following a short illness. She lit up any room and will be greatly missed. Our sincerest condolences to Arthur and to Elizabeth's family.

There was a private family cremation on Monday, 26th September which was followed by a memorial service for Elizabeth on Tuesday, 27th September.

In preference to floral tributes, Elizabeth requested donations to the Cardiff City Hospice charity, who looked after her with care and tenderness in her final days. To that end, Arthur's  daughter, Libby Watson, has set up a 'Just Giving' page which you can access by clicking on:   Just Giving
