It is with great sadness that we share the passing of two very special members of our family.
On the 12th June, we lost Mark Redrup, a much-loved brother, uncle, friend and baker at Grace’s. Mark spent many years baking for our customers and was a familiar face to so many. He’ll be remembered for his kindness, his sense of humour and the laughs he shared with those around him.
Then on the 24th June, we said goodbye to Helen Redrup. A wonderful mum, nan, great-nan, and the heart of our family. You might not know, but Helen was there from the very beginning of Grace’s. She, along with her husband Raymond Redrup, were the first people to work alongside their son Ray and Daughter-in-Law Carole when they first opened the doors in Ryde.
To lose both Mark and Helen in such a short space of time has been incredibly hard for our family. They were both deeply loved and will be missed more than words can say.
We’ll be arranging a celebration of their lives over the coming weeks. If you worked with Mark, or knew Mark or Helen, we would really love for you to join us. We’ll share the details as soon as we can, you are welcome to get in touch too: [email protected]
❤️
Lots of Love,
The Redrup Family
