Sabrina Lewins
Shelagh Lewins (Sabrina’s daughter) writes:
Dear Friends,
Some of you already know, but my mother Sabrina Lewins passed away on Friday 17th January 2025. She was peaceful, and her son Lloyd was with her. She will be very greatly missed. Her funeral is planned for Thursday 8th February. We haven’t worked out all the details, but here’s the basic info:
9:30 am — committal at Cambridge City Crematorium.
Early afternoon — celebration of Sabrina’s life, at the Unitarian Church in Cambridge, with tea and food.
Thank you everyone for your friendship to Sabrina, she valued all of you so much.
With best wishes,
Shelagh
