Pauline Lovelock

June 26, 1969 - January 13, 2021

The loss of Pauline came as a tragic shock to all those who worked with and knew her. Pauline was a much loved colleague and carer and will always be remembered as the face, heart and soul of Talfourd Place. Everyone who knew Pauline has fondly remembered her kindness, her passion for children, and no matter who she encountered her unfailing commitment to making sure everyone who worked for children was kept honest and delivered. She was uniquely stylish, supportive and hugely respected by everyone, both in her role at Southwark and for her commitment as a Foster Carer. Pauline was a much loved friend and colleague who's loss will be felt deeply across Southwark and who's absence will forever impact us and our services. We continue to think of Pauline's family at this difficult time and want to offer the opportunity for everyone to offer their memories, feelings and condolences to be shared with her family.

    Pauline was very special. Unique. Open-hearted. She was never going to get lost in the run-of-the-mill, the bland, the middling. She stood out - not because she wanted or needed attention, but because she knew the power of communicating through her dress and personal style. How it reaches people, how it changes their mood, how it makes them feel. And BOY- did she have personal style! Masses of it. She was the very essence of chic and pazzaz. She had IT. This is no shallow compliment; to have that kind of gift, it has to come from inside, a clever and concise knack of knowing how to put things together. An awareness of colour and cut to know what will delight and compliment. But this was not all she offered. As the Front Line in what was at times a very difficult working environment, filled with conflict, fuelled by frustration and anger of clients, Pauline brought calm, commanded respect, and presented a role model for young people and adults alike. I will not forget her. We shared many interests, are the same age, and had many bonding sessions over clothes and shoes, hats and jewellery. I love to think that she is enjoying herself on that beach now, feeling the sun on her face as she lies on a vintage recliner with beautifully quaffed hair and a beach outfit that is just the thing. Shine on Pauline.

On behalf of her team mates at Talfourd. We will always remember working together at the reception desk, trying to figure out the best and quickest way to help all those that came to the desk. We will remember Pauline sashaying stylishly into the reception area, walk through the doors and take her place behind the desk for handover/takeover of the desk. Our thoughts and condolences to Pauline's loved ones during this difficult time. Pauline will be missed and the place will not be the same. Su, Beryl and the Talfourd Admin Team, Central support
