Workington fans will be able to join other friends and family members at the funeral next week of a popular and long-serving Reds fans.
Marjorie Hunter, 81, died last week and the funeral service has been arranged for Tuesday, November 26 at Distington Crematorium at 2pm.
The cortege is to pass the ground and supporters can meet from 1.15pm outside Borough Park to take part in a final tribute to the long-time fan.
In recent years she was best known to fellow Workington supporters as she sold Golden Goal tickets at home matches.
Previously she had ran the kitchen food bar in the Borough Park Social Club along with her late husband Ken.
A supporter for over 60 years she had been born (nee Mossop) in Gosforth and was a twin, losing her sister Dorothy at birth.
When she was four her parents Ned and Maggie-Jane Mossop moved with Marjorie and her two older brothers William and Clem to Hazel Holme Farm at Cleator.
She attended Ghyll Bank Private Girls’ School in Whitehaven before starting work at the plastics factory in Egremont.
Then followed jobs as ward waitress at West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven and then Cook at the old Kangol Factory in Cleator Moor for 23 years.
With husband Ken she owned and worked in their own business the Deep Sea fish & chip shop at Wath Brow for 10 years.
After the chippy she worked at the former Dentholme care home in Cleator Moor as a carer and cook, finally retiring at the age of 77.
She had married husband Ken in 1958 and they were together for 47 years before he died.
She had many friends, some of them life-long, and many of whom visited regularly during her period of illness.
Over the years she had pets, mainly dogs; was an ardent fan of the Royal Family and was a member of the WI. But up there with them all was her love for the Reds.
