Sue Moodie, secretary of the Colchester Fundraisers’ Group, died last week.
Sue 
was one of the founder members of the Colchester Fundraisers Group and helped steer
it through to its present successful form and increased membership. She was a professional
grantmaker rather than a fundraiser, but regularly attended the meetings until very
recently.

For many years she was the Village Hall Grants Adviser for the Rural Community Council
of Essex and was well known and respected amongst the majority of villages in Essex.

 

 

Fellow group founder Jennie Whiting, a fundraising consultant, said that she had
the greatest admiration and respect for Sue: “she would never let you down”. She
warmly welcomed many new members to the group, including UK Fundraising’s Howard
Lake.

 

 

Sue died at St Helena’s Hospice, Colchester, after a long fight against ovarian 
cancer.

 

 

The funeral is to be held at 12.30pm on Friday 24 February at Colchester Crematorium
and her husband John has said he would welcome anyone who would like to come. He
has asked for family flowers only but any in memoriam donations should be made payable
to St Helena Hospice.
