Corby Magazine

05/07/2019

We're sad to hear of the passing of friend of Corby Magazine and champion of Corby, Mary Butcher.

During the Corby Magazine days, Mary helped us no end with her advice, connections and her time. She was always on hand to listen to our views, point us in the right direction when pursuing a story and was a true supporter of Corby Magazine.

We know that our story is one of many; Mary selflessly fought for what she believed in, helping whoever she could along the way.

Thank you for everything, Mary. You’ll be deeply missed by everybody who knew you.
