Donation on behalf of former auxiliary nurse

£370 has been donated to Dcafe in Broughty Ferry in memory of former auxiliary nurse Veronica Dorward.

Former Kings Cross Hospital auxiliary nurse Veronica Dorward has been remembered with a donation of £370 to Dcafe in Broughty Ferry which provides support, friendship, advice and activities to people who are affected by dementia and their families.

Veronica’s daughter, Catrina Boal said, “My mum was an auxiliary nurse at Kings Cross for many years. She loved her job and took pride in her work. She talked so fondly of the patients and staff and the friendships she developed.

“Sadly she passed away with Alzheimer's in January but with such courage and dignity. We collected the money at the church during my mum’s funeral and we know that she would have wanted to donate it to the cafe.”
