Cllr. Kate Gill
It is with much sadness that Cllr. Kate Gill sadly passed away on 27th
March after a short illness. Kate was a loyal, long-serving councillor for Strete Parish Council for many years, including serving as chair from 2016 to 2021. Kate was an avid supporter of the Kings Arms. She provided the use of her camp site and barn for various village activities including Village Day. Kate had a lot of historical knowledge of the area including events that took place during WW2 that she was always happy to pass on to anyone interested. The village beacon is situated at the camp site and its lighting has often received an official request from the Lieutenant of Devon for it to be lit on many special national occasions. The beacon was made and erected by Kate’s late husband.
Funeral arrangements have been confirmed. This will take place on 28th
April at 2:30pm at Torquay Crematorium.
The wake will take place at the Kings Arms in Strete. All are welcome.
