Ex-journalist dies at 86
6:42pm Sunday 27th April 2008
FORMER journalist Molly White, above, has died at the age of 86.
Brought up in the Essex countryside, she gained an early enthusiasm for horses and riding.
She came into local newspaper journalism in 1965 when she started to write for the Witney Gazette - then a privately owned newspaper - after her husband Bill was posted to RAF Brize Norton.
When the Gazette was taken over, she became part of the staff of the Oxford Mail and The Oxford Times and continued to produce news reports and features for the area.
She died on Tuesday and her funeral is on Thursday at Kingsdown crematorium, near Swindon.

The Lambert Arms, Aston Rowant
I hailed the Lambert Arms at Aston Rowant "a worthwhile discovery" after a resolutely unromantic St Valentine's Night dinner last year (romance — at my age?). Pondering why I had never visited during my previous 35 years as a resident of the county, I concluded it was probably because it was out of the public domain for much of that time, as a training hotel owned by THF.
