My wife, Penelope Putz, who has died aged 95, was a Quaker all her life and took inspiration from Quaker values. The passion she felt against injustice led her to become a committed activist.
Penelope campaigned for peace, the environment, with the Conservation Society (one of the first British environment societies) and Extinction Rebellion (XR), and against her pension being invested in fossil fuels. She was bitterly opposed to the Iraq war and wrote often to Tony Blair to tell him so. She attended peace vigils and the regular silent vigils in Exeter to support Palestine and protest against the inhumane bombardment of Gaza.
