Jean Goldby Retires from Choir

November 3, 2024

End of an Era

There was a very moving occasion at the morning service at Keston Parish Church on October 13th when we marked Jean Goldby’s retirement from the church choir. Jean had sung alto in the choir since she first moved to Keston in 1964.

A very loyal and hard working member she was for a time choir secretary and very helpful to the choir master in pointing out the correct pronunciation of Latin words! To mark her sixty years in the choir Jean was presented with a Royal School of Church Music long service medal and certificate, and as is our custom at Keston an original Richard Geiger farewell card.

We will greatly miss Jean and wish her well in her new life in Edenbridge.
