It is with great sadness that the Union announces the death of Lesley Sharpe who has died after a brave battle with cancer, aged 51.
Lesley was first appointed as an agricultural officer based in Grimsby, and then, after the retirement of Sylvia Greenwood, became the Region's Women's Officer. She will be greatly missed by colleagues and members alike; her untimely death is a reminder of the mortality we all face.
The deepest sympathy is sent to Lesley's family at this very difficult time.
