Tribute to Ellen Sheffield
on 23 December 2022
London CND is sad to report that Ellen Sheffield, a long-time London peace campaigner passed away on 23 December 2022, at the age of almost 94. The short tribute below comes from her friend and colleague, Daphne Trotter.
Ellen Sheffield joined CND when she was young. She volunteered with the Campaign practically all her life. For a long time she was chair and secretary of Muswell Hill CND, and later a member of Haringey CND.
She had been unwell for some time, and last summer Ellen moved to a care home in Bristol, to be near her daughter Barbara. I hadn’t seen Ellen since lockdown although we kept in touch by phone.
Ellen’s funeral takes place on Wednesday 18 January and will be followed by an informal commemoration at a nearby location. Details are available from info@londoncnd.org
