Anne Frith, one of our listeners and a long serving member of our Committee here at Three Rivers TN, passed away recently.
Although she was probably best known in Beccles as a historian and author, Anne was involved in several local and  national organisations, including Guide Dogs for the Blind and, of course, our very own Three Rivers Talking Newspaper.   She served as Listener Representative from the foundation of Three Rivers TN back in 1991, and continued in this role for a staggering 25 years.
Those of us who were lucky enough to work alongside her on the Committee appreciated her sharp wit and practical advice. Anne never shied away from calling a spade a spade and was instrumental in bringing about many improvements to the way we do things at Three Rivers.  As for our annual quiz, Anne was not just a regular participant; she was an avid competitor and frequently ended up on the winning team.
Above all, Anne will be remembered as a fiercely independent, intelligent and capable woman who achieved far more than many of us could ever dream of.
Our thoughts and prayers go to her family and especially to Anne’s devoted husband John who has also been a huge supporter of Three Rivers.
May she rest in peace.
