Poignantly, I have just discovered Betty's funeral notice from 2017. We would like to pay tribute to her from when she worked at Trico Folberth, Brentford, West London. None of us will forget her outstanding leadership along with Eileen Ward during the historic 21 week equal pay strike in 1976 - ultimately victorious!
The family may know about the book published in 2018 about the strike, TRICO A Victory to Remember? I co-authored the book. A new edition of the book is about to be published. It has many references to and photos of Betty in the book. I would love to make contact with any family members. We recall her granddaughter, Louise (2), being brought to the picket line by mum, Marion, holding a placard, and bawling her eyes out!
There are many wonderful memories of Betty. Love and respect, Sally (Groves) Mob. 07525085148 118, Felix Road, London, W13 0NU
