Christopher Mcmullen-Laird
We remember Christopher McMullen-Laird, conductor, musician, violist (by his own admission), colleague, friend, loving husband son and brother. He brought joy to everyone he came into contact with. His musical skill (which abounded) aside, perhaps most importantly Chris challenged the cynicism that runs deep in the musical profession by bringing a positive attitude to everything he did, by building up and not tearing down, by never judging people for what they couldn't do but celebrating them for their strengths. And he did all this with a welcoming smile and his infectious energy. No matter how hard a day he was having, he always had a ready ear and a smile for anyone. His eagerness to help and care for everyone has left all who knew him with the fondest of memories. For those that would like to share a memory, photo, video, or a message of condolence to Chris’ family then this space is open to all. He touched all of our hearts and we thank you, Christopher, for the many smiles and laughter. RIP, our friend.
Rona Haigh
Haigh, Rona passed away peacefully on 17th June 2020 at Manorlands Hospice surrounded by her loving family at the age of 83. She was the beloved wife of Frank, cherished mum to Julie, loved Mother-in-law of Kevin and adored Nanna of Andrew, Victoria, Matthew, Aimee and (in-law) John. Rona spent her early working years as a mender at Becks Mill and told many tales about getting into trouble for talking too much or too loudly. Something that never thankfully changed throughout her life - saying with a smile “my dad was deaf” in answer to any looks or comments. Rona then used her ebullient manner to become the entertaining landlady at the Hole in the Wall pub in Hebden Bridge before starting up an office cleaning business with husband Frank. A natural leader who described herself as “not bossy, just having better ideas” - she continued in business until she retired. Rona loved to travel and partied in the sun with family and friends especially enjoying holidays in Thailand and Tenerife. She formed strong friendships which lasted throughout her life not only with people she met from around the world but also from Keighley where she was born and raised. Rona was wonderful and warm person and will remain in hearts of family and friends forever. Please leave your messages of condolence and share stories so that we can celebrate her life and/or make any donations to Manorlands Hospice in memory of Rona, may she Rest in Peace.
Samaa Al Azzawi
Samaa was part of AXA’s family for 10 years. Her dedication to our Company, her commitment and passion are just a few of the many reasons for her quick rise from a Key Account Manager, to the Chief Marketing, Digital and Customer Experience of AXA Gulf and finally to her Group role within such a short time. Samaa was a true partner to many people in the organization. She always took the time to quietly listen and provide guidance or voice her opinion. Samaa was full of energy and full of curiosity and interests. She was an incredibly talented photographer, loved music, birds, “proper” English grammar but also Superman and Manchester United. She truly loved AXA and wholeheartedly believed in what we stand for. Her positive approach, passion for life and her smile lit up a room. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this incredibly difficult time. She will be deeply missed. We will be happy to see your memories of Samaa on the page below.

He co-founded the Northern Evangelistic Association (N.E.A) and NewEnergy- an NGO serving in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). He was instrumental in the establishment of the Coalition of NGO’s in Water and Sanitation (CONIWAS) in Ghana and Africa Network of Civil Society Organizations in Water and Sanitation (ANEW). He played a key role in the initiation of the MOLE Conference which is currently the largest annual convening of stakeholders in the WASH sector. Rev.

He shared these words ‘’ Throughout my working years in this unit, I have seen a lot of people struggle to die, but not him. He passed peacefully’’. He truly stood for the advancement of God’s Kingdom and we take solace in Psalm 116:15 ‘’ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.’’. He was a true saint of God.

Sarah McGibney
A loud, crazy, hilarious, Irish girl with an infectious personality who lit up every room she ever entered. No one made life so much fun, swore so much and drunk Veuve Cliquot for any and every occasion like our shining star. No one was kinder, more generous and giving ....always there for anyone. At work, she was an absolutely brilliant marketeer, an amazing leader, loved and respected by all her teams and everyone that worked closely with her. At home, she was caring, understanding, loving and kind. She energized everyone around her ... a true force of nature. Sarah loved life, loved family and loved people. She enriched all our lives ... and we will be so much the poorer without her. A service is planned in Manilva Cemetery on Tuesday, June 23rd at 12:00. Due to Covid restrictions, as we write this, only 25 people wearing masks will be allowed into the chapel. Those of you who wish to come and pay your respects outside, are welcome to do so. We will keep you updated of any changes in restrictions on this page, closer to the day. We will organise a memorial service for Sarah in Ireland, at a time when anybody who wishes to, is able to travel. At the ceremony, we will be playing, 'You Raise me Up' and 'My Love' both by Westlife, 'Your Love Keeps Lifting me Higher and Higher' by Jackie Wilson, and 'Let me Go' by Gary Barlow. If you would like to be with us in music and spirit, why not play these songs wherever you are at 12:00 Spanish time. We will be wearing some blue in honor of her beautiful eyes and white, in memory of the wonderful time we had at her 50th birthday. Sarah was a passionate admirer of, and contributor to 52 lives and we would greatly appreciate it if you could donate to this charity, in lieu of flowers.
