My great aunt Elsie Collins was for most of her life involved with the Toc H charity. When I was young I recall visiting her at the Toc H hostel in Putney where she was something to do with running it, possibly cook and housekeeper. She retired and returned to live with her sister, Catherine and Bert at 89 Warren Avenue, Southampton. She was a spinster, and died in Southampton General Hospital in 1984. Possibly following a stroke. At some time Elsie may have lived in Swanage. Additional source Peggy Pomeroy.
Died:
I remember that she had the funeral that she wanted. A horse drawn hearse with the funeral director walking in front, as she left 89 Warren Avenue for the last time.
