THE funeral of a much-loved charity stalwart is to take place later this week, it has been confirmed. 

Last week, the Leader reported on tributes paid to Margaret Williams MBE, founder of North Wales Superkids, who died peacefully on October 12, aged 74.

Her husband Geoff Williams, with whom she lived in Flint, said she was "the most generous person under the sun," having dedicated her life to giving children amazing opportunities and unforgettable memories.

Mr Williams confirmed on Monday that his wife's funeral will take place at Saint Mary's and Saint David's Church in Flint, at 1.30pm on Friday.

He said anyone who wished to attend to pay their respects would be welcome to do so.
