A few people have asked me about Debbie Edwards funeral arrangements. It will take place on: Tuesday 9th May 2023, 11:00am At: Stockton Crematorium, Maplewood Chapel, Junction Road, Stockton On Tees, TS19 9NA Afterwards it in the Stockton Town /Striders club house. Parking at the crem will be very busy so if possible car sharing is advised. Attendees at the funeral are asked to wear a splash of purple please. There will also be a collection box for any donations to The Trinity Holistic Centre in lieu of flowers as per Debbie’s wishes. Gary, Debbie’s husband has said how it would be lovely to see as many Striders as possible at the funeral to give Debbie the send off she truly deserves. 💚💙💜
