Doreen was a good friend while we both worked at Chichester Festival Theatre. After she had retired she used to ask me over for lunch and treat me to her wonderful cooking and good company. I often returned to work late, but nobody minded because Doreeen was much loved and esteemed by all at CfT. A special lady with a lovely chuckle, smile and kindness.
