Doreen Coggin 1923-2001


My Mum, Doreen Coggin, was born on the 21st October 1923 in Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
She married my Dad on the 21st April 1945 at St Andrews church on Holderness Road in Kingston upon Hull.

Mum was a friendly lady and would talk to anyone ( hmm that’s where I get it from) She loved animals especially dogs ( there’s me again!).

Mum & Dad had me eighteen years after my brother, I think I was a mistake!

Mum was never ill and only went into hospital to give birth to my brother and also myself. Suddenly on the 23rd of July 2001 Mum died. She’d been having bad nose bleeds and went to her doctor, who admitted her into hospital, the following day she died, she had a anurism.
