Subject: RE: therasa tooleys/treaties funeral From: SussexCarole Date: 07 Jan 10 - 05:39 PM It is hoped that Theresa's funeral will take place on Thursday 14th January at 12.40 At the moment this date is provisional due to the weather conditions in Manchester. Full details will be posted as soon as possible. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January From: Alio Date: 07 Jan 10 - 06:59 PM Thanks for letting us know Carole. I'll pass this info on to others who are wanting to know. Ali x |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Surreysinger Date: 07 Jan 10 - 08:57 PM Thanks for the details. I had been thinking of attending, but sadly it looks as though I can't make it. I will,however, pass the information on to a couple of people I know who might be interested but don't access Mudcat. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 08 Jan 10 - 07:15 AM I'm afraid that I shall be at another funeral at the same time, my work colleage and sometime boss. They seem to be coming thick and fast. Robin |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 08 Jan 10 - 08:14 AM Thanks for the update Carole. I will drink a toast to Theresa at the appropriate time. MAry |

Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST Date: 08 Jan 10 - 11:32 AM Is there any update on whether it is going ahead and details of venue please ? |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Pistachio Date: 08 Jan 10 - 12:10 PM The weather will probably remain poor according to various forecasts. I'll make every effort to attend but safety is the over-riding factor at this time. H.x |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: SussexCarole Date: 08 Jan 10 - 03:07 PM Theresa's funeral will take place at Howe Bridge Crematorium Chapel Lovers Lane, Atherton, Manchester M46 0PZ at 1.00p.m. on Thursday 14th January 2010 and afterwards at the Woodland Cemetery, City Road, Worsley M28 1BD at 2.30p.m. (Weather Permitting!) |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Zany Mouse Date: 08 Jan 10 - 03:52 PM We will try to mke it but a lot depends on the weather. At the moment it's not possible to drive out of our village. It would be wonderful if we could make the same sort of celebration and festival of life that we did for Col K. It was a wonderful send off for a wonderful guy and I think Theresa deserves the same. Blessings Rhiannon |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: My guru always said Date: 09 Jan 10 - 04:47 AM We would really like to come along, but not sure how we'd manage in this weather from Surrey. It would be wonderful if a Memorial Day could be planned so that we can all get together to celebrate knowing Theresa. This Lady deserves a really good send-off!! |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: MoorleyMan Date: 09 Jan 10 - 05:35 AM In normal circumstances I too would definitely be planning to attend, but the weather conditions have been, and are forecast to be, atrocious and even a relatively short (in mileage terms) trans-Pennine journey is extremely hazardous. I've been grounded for the past three weeks, and I can't see the situation improving before Thursday, sadly. Theresa deserves the very best of send-offs, and the comparison with ColK is well made, so Hils I think your idea is much more sensible for when the big freeze is over - count me in for that! |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 201 From: Carol Date: 09 Jan 10 - 05:49 AM Yes, I would have been attending but unless the weather changes a lot I won't be taking the chance. Hils suggestion to give Theresa a Memorial Day sounds v good. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: My guru always said Date: 09 Jan 10 - 09:22 AM 'Twas Rhiannon's suggestion really, but I do hope that something can be worked out by someone close to Theresa. We'd definitely be up for that! I'm certain that a lot of Theresa's friends will still be able to get to the funeral if the weather can just calm down a bit! |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Merek'n'Dary Date: 09 Jan 10 - 11:24 AM Unfortunately we will not be able to make it but agree that a Memorial day to Theresa would be a great idea! |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Herga Kitty Date: 09 Jan 10 - 03:50 PM I'm not likely to make it from London to Manchester on Thursday, but here's the shanty I sang for Theresa on the bad shirts and shanty day in the Endeavour at Whitby in 2001, after she won the Saltburn shanty competition: I'm feeling sad and so forlorn Sing 'em loud Can't help the gender I was born Sing 'em loud We weedy women high and shrill Sing 'em loud Can't compete with Jim or Bill Sing 'em loud While they are belting out each word Sing 'em loud We women struggle to be heard Sing 'em loud But there is one who breaks the rule she Sings 'em loud Her name it is Theresa Tooley, she Sings 'em loud Kitty |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Alio Date: 09 Jan 10 - 05:08 PM Thanks for the info Carole - I'll be there definitely, and I'll pass the info on to others who may not look on Mudcat. I spoke to Hilary yesterday (another founder member of Saddleworth Folk Festival) and we both agreed that it would be good to have an event at this year's festival in memory of Theresa - possibly the Sunday Sing which she led for several years with such joy and passion. Ali x |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Tig Date: 09 Jan 10 - 07:55 PM John and I would normally make sure we got there but the weather and my health at the moment make it a 'no-go'. I'm up for a memorial day though! We celebrated Col's life most of the summer after he died - and Treatise deserves no less. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: My guru always said Date: 10 Jan 10 - 05:32 AM Fab shanty Kitty! Aha, I see there's more than one Hilary in the UK, she sounds like a good Gilie too! Have never managed to get to Saddleworth, it's a long way for the old caravan. Looks good though, maybe we'll have a think about it! Sorry for thread creep, candle still lit for Theresa. Hil |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: SussexCarole Date: 10 Jan 10 - 07:33 AM Theresa's funeral will take place on Thursday 14 January 2010. It is requested please that there be family flowers only and for those who wish, donations be made in lieu of flowers to the Motor Neurone Association either through a family member or the undertakers The details are: A humanist ceremony at: Howe Bridge Crematorium Chapel Map here Lovers Lane, Atherton, Manchester M46 0PZ at 1.00p.m. and afterwards at: Woodland Cemetery, Map here City Road, Worsley M28 1BD at 2.30p.m. Arrangements for a gathering in the afternoon after Theresa's interment at Woodland Cemetery are still in the planning stage – they will be notified as soon as possible. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Sheila China Date: 10 Jan 10 - 08:34 AM My thoughts will be thinking of those able to attend in UK and I also would like to attend a memorial as I decided I couldn't get back from China, so being selfish I hope if a memorial celebration is planned it is after 23rd March when I will be back and any significant snow WILL e over in UK Here's part of the song I like to sing after a friend has died Here's to the friends that I've yet to make Here's to the friends who've eased my heart ache Here's to those friends past present and new To those now departed the thought turns anew by Rod Shearman Sheila |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST,Marie Date: 10 Jan 10 - 09:47 AM Hi All Baring any last minute weather changes, I should be able to come across from Leeds to Manchester. If there are any folks in Leeds, who would like to car share with me, do PM. Can we bring any food etc for the gathering afterwards? M |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Mrs Scarecrow Date: 10 Jan 10 - 01:22 PM I dont think I'll be able to make it but if a day is planned when the weather improves I would definately be up for that |

Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: My guru always said Date: 11 Jan 10 - 07:38 AM Weather seems to be improving, hope this'll help people in getting there on Thursday!!! |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Edain Date: 11 Jan 10 - 08:35 AM Just awaiting final confirmation that I can get the day off work but I should hopefully be there. I'll be getting the train so can go via Leeds and then car share if that works? (can't PM as it's posted as a guest) |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Surreysinger Date: 11 Jan 10 - 09:24 AM I won't be able to make it due to other commitments (sadly, as I'd worked out that it was possible to make Manchester and back as a day trip from Surrey by train and would have done it that way). If there is to be a memorial event later in the year then I'd love to attend. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST Date: 11 Jan 10 - 09:46 AM I have every hope of making the funeral, although more snow is forecast for Wednesday so plans could change last minute. Gillian (Menolly) |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: elmo 1 Date: 11 Jan 10 - 03:32 PM The weather is getting better up here beginning to thaw we have found somewhere to go after the funeral the address is BOTANICAL GARDENS CLUB TYLDSLEY ROAD ATHERTON M46 9AE from 3pm onwards tea coffee and bar provided the club has agreed to let us do food so could all who are coming bring a plate of something plus a bit extra as we did at colins hope to see as many as possible to give her a good send off |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST,RWJ Date: 11 Jan 10 - 04:00 PM We will do our best to be there, and help to raise the roof at the Botanical Gardens Club,as Theresa would have done. Ron & Carole |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST,aelfleda Date: 12 Jan 10 - 05:08 AM Unfortunately I won't be able to make the funeral but look forward to attending a memorial event for Theresa. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 12 Jan 10 - 10:35 AM 6 and 7:30 PM Mudcat time. I will be there in spirit. And I will sing one of the old songs for Theresa. Mary |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: vectis Date: 12 Jan 10 - 07:39 PM I have to work on Thursday and can't get up there to the funeral. I will be thinking of her though. A memorial sounds like a really good idea, maybe we can have one down south for her too? |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Sailor Ron Date: 13 Jan 10 - 04:23 AM Like so many others I am afraid I will not be able to attend [can't get time off work], but I will be thinking on her, & sing a song for her at Fleetwood Folk Club on thurs. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: karen k Date: 13 Jan 10 - 04:34 AM I wish I could be there. I will be thinking of Theresa a lot this week as it is her birthday today and with the funeral on Thursday. Godspeed, Theresa. "What a singing there will be" when you get home. Part of a line from a Helen Schneyer song. Sure wish Helen and Theresa could have met. Maybe they will now. Thanks for the memories, Theresa. Much love. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Marie27 Date: 13 Jan 10 - 04:39 AM Damit I sure hope this black ice disappears for tomorrow! And sorry if anyone tried to PM me for a ride from Leeds - send it to this account. Marie |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST,LTS pretending to work Date: 13 Jan 10 - 05:24 AM Given that we're being snowed on again, I'm not going to be able to make it up as I was hoping to. I couldn't help but think of her in church on Sunday,as we sang 'When the Roll is called up yonder' (I've sung it many times and at least once with Theresa, but always clutching a pint mug, in a pub - never sober and in church before!)... God Speed, Theresa, there'll be a candle burning and a tot waiting for you tomorrow night. LTS |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: SylviaN Date: 13 Jan 10 - 07:11 AM Keith and I have a gig in Ely tonight, but we shall be heading for Manchester from there very early tomorrow morning - weather permitting. If we don't make it, we'll join in with the send off somewhere on the road. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: My guru always said Date: 13 Jan 10 - 07:37 AM Wishing everyone who can go tomorrow safe journeys. We'll be thinking of Theresa with a candle lit and a glass in our hands. Hil & Richard |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST,RedJ Date: 13 Jan 10 - 08:21 AM I was saddened to hear of Teresa's passing. Although I have known Teresa for a number of years and heard her sing many times my abiding memory is of her singing "Union Miner " at Cleckheaton a few years ago. Unfortunately I wont be able to attend the funeral but I'll look out for the memorial concert. Teresas humour and zest for singing was infectious and uplifting. I'll raise a glass to you tomorrow Teresa. |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Jan 10 - 08:23 AM I live just down the road but, unfortunately, work in Leeds, so will not be able to get there. I was hoping to book the day off but a 3 hour jurney in this morning and not arriving till 10:30 scuppered that idea:-( Theresa was a regular at Swinton before her illness and always cheered us up with that mighty voice. She will be missed. If anyone wants a venue for a celebration of her life in the near future I can always ask at the White Lion where our club is. Just PM me. Cheers DeG |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST Date: 13 Jan 10 - 08:57 AM Only just heard about Theresa, I am in Sheffield if I could get to Leeds station is there any chance I could get a lift over Jan Hanmer. email: Janhanmer@aol.com Mob: 07884267988 |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 13 Jan 10 - 09:07 AM I could run you from Leeds to Manchester, Jan, but unfortunately, as I said, I will be in Leeds from 8:30 to 5 tomoorow so you would miss the funeral anyway:-( From Sheffield it is probably best to get the train direct to Manchester and then get a bus to Atherton. Hope this helps Dave |
Subject: RE: Theresa Tooley/treaties funeral-14 January 2010 From: GUEST,Neardura Date: 13 Jan 10 - 09:24 AM Would love to be at the funeral to say goodbye to Teresa. But sadly, weather and other commitments do not allow. A memorial day is a great idea. Count us in for that. |
