Long-term residents of Sunbury will be saddened to hear of the death of Mrs Barbara Rosa Adams, aged 95. She died in St. Peter’s Hospital, Chertsey on 8th December after a short illness. Mrs Adams was possibly the last surviving original resident of the Berg estate in Sunbury. She moved into a newly built house in Maryland Way in 1955, living there until the death of her husband Charles, earlier this year. Her last home was the Burlington Residential Home in Shepperton.
During her residence in Sunbury, Barbara was an active member of the community. She was a member of TOADS, a well-regarded amateur drama and operatic group, in the 1970s, and also joined the Townswomen’s Guild. She organ-ised local Antiques Fairs and Car Boot Sales, also serving Christmas Day lunches to the vulnerable until well-advanced in years herself. She is survived by two sons and three grandchildren.
