My friend Denise Walker, who has died aged 68 after a short illness, began her working life as a bilingual secretary, spent time running an after-school French club and later taught IT at an adult education college.
She also made a great impact through her volunteering, including at the Latika children’s tennis club in Wokingham, Berkshire, where as chair between 2009 and 2022 she led the way on the building of a new clubhouse and the installation of floodlights. In addition she was honorary secretary of the Berkshire Lawn Tennis Association from 2013 until her death.
