Helen Fraquet a good friend of Patricia has given us this memory of Patricia and the photos below to help old friends remember Patricia
Patricia Ann Wilson 1952-2002
Notice of the death of Frank Wilson in Delhi in 2010, has actioned Helen Fraquet, a friend of his late daughter Patricia, to give us the following photographs taken in Assam in 1977.
Patricia was raised in Dibrugah at Maijan, and later returned to Assam as the wife of Brian Peters to live on Dhoedaam TE. These photographs are taken at this time.
Although later Patricia spent many years working in London, she loved Assam with passion, and remained deeply touched by all the people she knew back in what she always called her real home.
Some 20 years after these photographs were taken Patricia married again, in Jordan to Kamal al Kalalweh, and latterly life for both father Frank and Patricia became more complex.
Patricia, with her stunning red hair - (they said at Maijan that her mother Daphne had obviously eaten far too many chilies when she was pregnant) - never grew old, she died of cancer having just reached 50, working until the end at BP, always immaculately dressed, with a wonderful waistline and the highest of high heels.
Photos below tell her story
