Very Sad News
14th November 2024

 

Reverend Annette Hawkins 1959 - 2024

 

The Parish Council was shocked and saddened to hear the news that our Vicar, Reverend Annette Hawkins, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, during a planned operation. The shock all the greater because she led the Remembrance Services at the Church and War Memorial on Sunday, attended by a large number of residents. Annette had been Vicar of Salehurst, Robertsbridge and Hurst Green for eight years, and had become a friend to many. She will be greatly missed.

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband John, her children and grandchildren, mother, wider family, friends and all who loved her.

 

God Bless Annette - rest in peace.
