❤️ In Loving Memory of Mary Preston ❤️

Today, The Lion is a little quieter, and our hearts are a little heavier as we mourn the passing of our lovely Mary Preston, who sadly passed away yesterday. 💔
Mary was more than just a familiar face at The Lion. She was a light in our pub, someone whose presence brought warmth, laughter and happiness to those around her. She was part of our Lion family, and it is hard to imagine our little pub without her.
Pubs are so much more than just places to have a drink. They are places where friendships are made, memories are shared and people become family. Mary was a beautiful reminder of exactly that.
To Mary's family and friends, we send our deepest condolences, love and strength during this incredibly difficult time. Please know that she was loved and will be deeply missed by all of us here at The Lion.
Mary, thank you for the smiles, the laughter and the memories. Your light will continue to shine within these walls, and you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Once part of The Lion family, always part of The Lion family. ❤️
Rest peacefully, Mary. This one's for you. 🥂🕊️

With all our love,
Shannon, the team and your Lion family
