A Nottinghamshire street 'will not be the same' after a beloved neighbour died. Known for her pink house in Whiting Avenue in Toton and all things pink, Kathy Charles sadly passed away in her late 60s on Thursday, March 9.
The retired Players cigarette machine operator loved the colour pink so much that she not only painted her home in the bright colour, but also made sure to always wear pink. She also had her entire home decorated in her favourite colour. In addition to the colour pink, Kathy also loved animals, including her pet spiders, tortoise named Eric, canaries Kath and Sid, parrot Nelly and her beloved dog Ozzy who sadly died a short while before Kathy herself.
Neighbours of Kathy and residents in the area say they will remember her for many reasons, including her kindness, friendly nature and how she would help anyone with anything. Accountant Julio Herrera, 36, said: "We moved here in 2019 and we were a bit apprehensive at first when we saw the pink house, but then we met her and she was the best neighbour you could have."
