KINGS Somborne Primary School has bid a sad farewell to its caretaker when she retired this week after a lifelong affiliation with the school.
Marjorie Tubby, born in 1942, attended King’s Somborne Primary School as a child only to return as an adult in 1972, when she worked as a stand-in dinner lady and caretaker assistant.
In 1973 she became a kitchen helper.
Then, in 1976, when the caretaker became ill, she filled that role and continued as a caretaker/cleaner until her retirement this week.
Marjorie now hopes to be able to devote more time to her hobbies of knitting, embroidery, lace-making, crochet and many other arts and crafts.
Deputy head teacher David Roebuck said: “She will be sadly missed and we all wish her well for her retirement.”
