Madeleine ST JOHN
Born Sydney November 12, 1941, died London June 18, 2006
Daughter of Edward and Sylvette St John (both deceased), sister of Colette St
John Lippincott and aunt of Aaron, fondly remembered by her aunts: Florence Heller and Pamela St John, her friends, cousins and extended family.
We were gladdened by her late career as a novelist:
The Women in Black, A Pure Clear Light, The Essence of the Thing (shortlisted for the Booker Prize 1997) and A Stairway to Paradise.
We were saddened by her long illness.
Now she is at rest.
A service for MADELEINE will be held at All Saints Church, Clydesdale Road, London W11, July 4, at 2.00 p.m.
Her Sydney friends are invited to meet to remember her at the London
Tavern, corner Underwood and William Streets, Paddington, on Saturday July 15, 3-6 p.m.
