Rose Paterson – a message of condolence from the Chairman of Shropshire Council

Following this week’s sad news, Councillor Ann Hartley, Chairman of Shropshire Council, said:

“I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic and sudden death of Rose Paterson. I have known Rose for many years, and worked closely with her at many of the council’s citizenship ceremonies, when she represented the Lord Lieutenant as one of the Deputy Lieutenants. She always brought a warmth and grace to these occasions.

“I will greatly miss her, as will all who were lucky enough to know her.

“On behalf of everyone at Shropshire Council – councillors and officers – I want to pass on my sincere condolences to Owen and all of Rose’s family. Our thoughts are with them all at this very difficult time.”
