Netta (Janet) Macintyre's funeral service attracts 300

Netta Macintyre's funeral service was yesterday afternoon at Saint Bride's Church in Newtonmore. It attracted a congregation of 300 people – a clear demonstration of the affection and respect in which Netta was held. The congregation included over 60 of her extended family, friends from Inverness, Newtonmore and elsewhere, and people from her multitude of community work. 

Poignantly the mourners included Edna Simpson, Netta's friend, who will be 100 this year and who was the recipient of the last letter that Netta wrote shortly before the pain and her cancer overcame her. 

The Minister, the Reverend Catherine Buchan, delivered a lovely tribute showing how well she knew Netta. Catherine had visited Netta several times during her final days in Saint Vincent's Hospital in Kingussie. 

A extraordinary but fitting turnout – many of whom came onto the fine reception at The Highlander.
