Each year, Roedean remembers the Lawrence Sisters and all ORs and former staff we have lost throughout the previous year at our Founders’ Day and Commemoration Service in the School Chapel. The last service was held on Thursday 2nd February 2023.
Friends and family are invited to publish announcements on this page by emailing the Alumnae Office. Announcements will remain on the website until the person has been remembered at the service and friends and family will be invited to join us at the service. If you would like to attend to remember somebody named below, please email alumnae@roedean.co.uk. If you wish to submit a full obituary for a future edition of The Roedeanian, please email alumnae@roedean.co.uk.
