Professor Katrina Honeyman and Mr Patrick Macartney
It is with great regret that we report the death of two colleagues on 23 October 2011.
Professor Katrina Honeyman
Professor Katrina Honeyman had been Professor of Social and Economic History in the School of History since 2008. Originally appointed to the University in 1979, Professor Honeyman enjoyed an international reputation for her publications on gender history, the history of local and regional industries (notably the textile trades) and the history of child labour. Sadly, ill-health had compelled her early retirement in July 2011.
The funeral will take place at 2.20pm on Wednesday 2 November 2011 at Lawnswood Crematorium, Otley Road, Adel, Leeds, LS16 6AH. There are to be family flowers only. Donations may be made to St Gemma's Hospice and Save the Children through the following justgiving accounts:
