CHRISSIE Curry was a tireless community champion who was much-loved by the people of Witney.

So it is fitting that her funeral at St Mary’s Church should be so well-attended and regarded as such a moving tribute by those who knew her.

The former town mayor will be remembered for her work on the town council, as well as the many other community causes got involved with.

As the statement from the Abdabs charity where she helped out for many years said, her generosity and kindness will be sorely missed in the community.
