I have learned today (13/04/2017) that Win Booth, wife of the late Ted Booth, has
passed away. Win would have celebrated her 90th birthday on the 30th of April this
year.
I have to be honest and say that whenever we were in Ted and Win’s company, it was
always Ted that everyone wanted to talk with and for Ted to share experiences of his
famous brother. Win however never begrudged Ted the limelight that the Society gave
to him and I think she was very happy that everyone wanted to talk to him.
Ted of course was George Formby’s youngest brother and Ted and Win were very well
known to members through the pages of the Vellum magazine and at our Blackpool
conventions up until Ted’s passing in 2007.
On behalf of the committee and members of The George Formby Society, I extend
sincere condolences to Win’s family.
