It is with great sadness that we share the passing of a very special lady who was not only a much-loved Mum, Grandma and Great Grandma but also a cherished part of the Cleveland Kitchens family. ❤️
She spent many years as part of Cleveland Kitchens and will always be remembered for the part she played in our family business and, more importantly, for the wonderful person she was.
Her presence, love and memories will remain a part of Cleveland Kitchens forever.
