Dora was one of seven children born to Arthur and Edith Repetto and was born on 5th March 1928. She was the proud mother of two daughters Mavis and Debbie. Dora was a loving, kind and caring person who always put others before herself. She spent her life contributing to the community and was awarded The Chairman’s Cup in June 2010 for her years of voluntary work in Calshot. Dora had been looking after St George’s Church and Hall at Calshot since just after she came to Calshot from Tristan over 50 years ago and was the last original Tristanian to live in Tristan Close. Dora is survived by her brother Ernest on Tristan, sisters Mildred and Violet in Hampshire, daughters Mavis and Debbie and by grandchildren Luke, Kelly, Kimberley and George. She will be sadly missed by family and friends in Britain and on Tristan. Dora's funeral was held on 31st January at All Saints Church, Fawley, simultaneously with a service at St Mary's Church, Tristan da Cunha led by Lay Minister Lars Repetto. |
