A funeral service was held at the East Riding Crematorium on Wednesday 17 February, 2016 for Mrs Marian Blanche Scruton (formerly of Foxholes)who died at The Limes in Driffield on Saturday 6 February.
The service was conducted by the Rev Jacki Tonkin.
Marian was born on 17 April, 1920, the second of four daughters of William and Mary Harrison of Holme Farm, East Lutton with sisters Irene, Kitty and Marjorie.
She went to school in West Lutton leaving at 15 to work on the farm.
She met and married Kenneth Scruton on12 November, 1941 in a joint ceremony with sister Irene who wed John Burton on the same day.
After their marriage they set up home at Hilbrow, Smythy Lane, Foxholes. They went on to have one son, Peter.
The family later moved to the Foundry House at the agricultural works.
Marian enjoyed being a housewife and mother. She was a good cook and enjoyed knitting.
Peter married Gill and Marian became grandma to Sally and Anna. She loved looking after the girls and in time the joy of being great grandma to Olivia and Ben
Marian and Kenneth lived most of their married life at Foundry House until Ken’s retirement. They enjoyed travel both to holidays abroad and in the UK, with Scotland and the Lakes being particular favourites.
Retirement brought a move to Driffield and she enjoyed meeting friends at the chapel.
After losing Ken in 1993 Marian found delight in going on trips with her good friend Myra Poessl, who was a great help in her later years.
She loved to read and enjoyed doing crosswords. She was also involved with charity events at the Chapel too. Unfortunately losing her sight was a source of real frustration to her and she had to move into the Limes where she was very well looked after.
