CIRC 086: THE LATE PAT BURGESS - HONORARY LIFE MEMBER

It is with great sadness we report to the membership the death of Honorary Life Member Pat Burgess, who passed away on Wednesday 10 December  2025  following a short illness.

Pat joined the Prison Service at Styal and served at Brixton and Wandsworth during her career.  Pat was an active branch official at Styal for a number of years and became an Honorary Life Member in 2000.

We are sure the membership would wish to offer sincere condolences to her family, friends, and former colleagues at this sad time.

 

Yours sincerely

STEVE GILLAN
General Secretary
