Announcement from the Dean
of the Cathedral Church of St German
It is with sadness we inform you of Val Garrett’s death after bravely battling cancer. She died peacefully in Hospice Isle of Man in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Val has been a central figure in the life of St German’s Cathedral, Peel, being associated with it from childhood. In more recent times she has been the administrator behind the work of the Cathedral Trust, enabling us to raise the very necessary large sums of money that have seen the redevelopment of the Cathedral. Val was also well known in the diocese as the face of the Cathedral organizing key diocesan celebrations. As a community we owe her a huge debt.
Her funeral will be on Wednesday 23rd September at 12 noon in the Cathedral.
Please pray for her family at this time, particularly her siblings.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
Shee Yee dy row meriu
(God’s peace be with you)
The Very Revd. Nigel Godfrey
