She returned to Chester four years later where she met and married her husband Mike. They have two wonderful sons, two amazing daughters-in-law and three beautiful grandchildren! After 48 years working in the NHS she discerned God was calling her to ordained ministry, and was ordained Deacon in July 2022 and was licensed to serve her curacy both at St James’ Church Christleton and here at the Cathedral.
