We were saddened to read of Myras passing, a very special lady who will be missed by many.
Not only did the Ancell's live across the road from my Dad (Ray Egan), Myra, Dad and I all worked for the Post Office for many years.
It was lovely to catch up with her at the Annual Get-together each year.
Rest in Peace Myra, from us all.

Another life member gone to create a new Association and watch down over us at carnival time.
A woman with a kind smile and pleasant to everyone she met. She gave our money away with that pleasant smile and we loved her for it.
RIP Myra Bennet
From the executive committee and the volunteers of the Caroline Bay Association.
