"Beryl was born in Glossop, Derbyshire, in 1942, growing up next to her cousin, Margaret Mantel, the mother of the novelist, Hilary Mantel. With her first husband, she moved to Laleham, living next to the Thames. Beryl subsequently lived in Cyprus for many years with her second husband, Ken, before they retired to Norfolk. Shortly after Ken died, Beryl relocated to Devon, where her Second Cousin Hilary lived with her husband, Gerald. Neither Beryl nor Ken suffered from dementia, but, having no children, she chose to support a number of charities in her will. Beryl is survived and remembered only by her Second Cousin Brian, and her oldest friend Kath Holtom and Kath's husband, David"
