Hilda MaryREADIt is with great sadness that we report the death of Hilda Mary Read (formerly Harries) aged 87, on June 8th at Coventry University Hospital.

Hilda was the loving Mum. Hilda was the loving wife to John. Mother to (the late) Vincent, Steven, Colin, Mandy, David and Adrian. She was also the Grandmother of 16 Grandchildren, and numerous Great-grandchildren.

Hilda will be sorely missed by all, as she was the matriarch of the family and kept in touch no matter what with all the members of the large family.

Hilda's funeral will be held on 3rd July 2025 at 2.30pm in Cannon Hill Chapel, Canley Crematorium.

Family flowers only. If you wish to make a donation in Hilda's memory the chosen charities are Asthma + Lung UK and The British Heart Foundation. These can either be left in the donation box at the exit of the chapel or online via Funeral Notices at www.franklinfunerals.co.uk
