My aunt Maureen Watson, who has died aged 98, lived her life with great energy, to the point that even when she began to slow down in her 80s it felt as if she was maintaining the same pace as other people.
A literacy and numeracy teacher in the prison sector for many years, including while she raised her family, she was involved in local politics with the Labour party from the second world war onwards, and was a community volunteer in the Lake District. She also led walking holidays in Greece.
