A Didcot woman was buried in a cemetery on the site of her first home in the town.

Auria 'Nori' Rouse, of Park Close, died aged 73.

She was buried in Didcot cemetery -- formerly the site of temporary post-war homes where she and her husband first lived after they were married.

Mrs Rouse was born one of 13 children at Abercynon, in the Rhondda Valley.

The family left during the Depression in the 1930s and settled in Didcot.

Her husband Jeffrey, whom she married in 1950, said: "The council provided our first home as a married couple, which was a Nissen hut. We lived there for a couple of years."

Like her husband, Mrs Rouse was an active member of the Didcot and District Branch of the Royal British Legion and they were one-time members of the United Services Association.

She had worked as an usherette at the former New Coronet cinema, Didcot, as a nanny and at the former canning factory in Park Road, Didcot, the dart board factory off Station Road, Didcot, as well as Rowstock Garage Cafe, Harwell.

The funeral took place at St Peter's Church, Didcot, which was decorated with British Legion standards.

A close family friend, the Rev Vernon Orr, vicar of Whitley Wood, Reading, led the service.

Mrs Rouse is survived by her husband and five children.
