Sue Gard

Posted on 30th April 2019
It is with great sadness that we heard that Sue Gard passed away on Maundy Thursday after a short illness. Sue was a keen orienteer, and had been an active member of Devon Orienteering Club in the 1980s and 1990s. She actively supported Junior orienteering, and supported the South West squad at National Events. After that she moved to Somerset and continued to run with Quantock Orienteers. Sue was very gently spoken, and always enjoyed a chat before or after a run. She was often accompanied by her collie.

Her funeral will be on Thursday 9th May at 12.15, at Whimple Crematorium. Further details on the QO website.
