Sally Tanner Obituary

Cricket News, News

It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of Sally Tanner on 7th April 2025 after her long and courageous battle with illness. 

Sally was a member and a Director of the Old Owen’s Association and was very instrumental in the running and management of the Association that encompassed the facilities.

Sally also became a very popular member of the Cricket Club when husband Vincent who is still a playing member joined the Cricket Club in the early 90’s. She helped to organise social events for the Cricket Club and her smiling face would be seen at these events watching everyone enjoying themselves and taking great pleasure from doing so. 

Sally was given a great send off at a private family Funeral Service on Wednesday 30th April 2025 and Vincent has advised that he is planning to have a memorial service to honour Sally probably in October this year.
 
There is a tribute page in memory of Sally at https://sallytanner.muchloved.com where donations can be made to the Isabel Hospice that provided fantastic help and support to Sally and the family during her illness.  

The Old Owen’s Association and Cricket Club have sent their sincere condolences to Vincent and daughters Gabrielle, Dominique and Stephanie for their sad loss of Sally. 

RIP Sally you will be sorely missed but not forgotten.
