It is with regret that I report the death of Olive Lasbury (nee Beard) who passed away peacefully on 5th February 2013. Olive Beard was born in Stroud, Gloucestershire in the last quarter of 1915. Her parents were Henry Beard and Alice Pulham, both of Gloucestershire. Olive had one sibling, an elder brother Cecil who was born in 1907.

Olive married Arthur Fredrick Lasbury at All Saints Church, Uplands, Stroud in 1940. Arthur Frederick Lasbury passed away in 1995.

Olive is survived by her son Kevin Lasbury and grandsons Mark Lasbury and Craig Lasbury.
