Frances MacKeith was one of the most influential people in my childhood. I didn’t speak to her often and she was already an old lady when I knew her, but through her strength, integrity, generosity and bravery to stand up against wrong-doings (even when they didn’t seemingly directly affect her own life), she was an unsung hero. Frances was one of those people who give you the childhood naive belief they might live forever. She was a protester and a Quaker until the very end. Her spirit shone brightly, making what could’ve been a weak or frail body, look as if she had all the strength of nature in her. What a wonderful woman. The world is less without her.
