MP joins tribute to Gretta Jane Anderson
Carla Lockhart MP • August 22, 2023
Upper Bann Member of Parliament Carla Lockhart has visited the memorial garden in remembrance of a Mrs Greta Jane Anderson, in her native Scarva.
Speaking after the visit, Carla Lockhart said:
“I was honoured to be invited along to the dedication of the garden but unfortunately I was unable to attend so I visited the garden just prior to its unveiling. It really is the most beautiful flower bed in memory of a remarkable lady.
Mrs Anderson was a true lady, and so well regarded in her home village of Scarva. She was often found in the Tearooms, enjoying friendship and chat. Scarva was her home and she loved the village and the local community dearly.
This is a very fitting tribute and I commend Leonard and the family for taking this forward in memory of their dearly loved mother.”
