Doreen was an extremely talented entrepreneur, innovator as was an inspiration to so many people.

“Over the years Fisherman’s Friend has grown to become a household favourite for generations around the world.

“Her love of her home town of Fleetwood and it’s people can be seen by her generosity and support for the local community.

“She was also devoted to her family and friends and was simply one of life’s good people who will be greatly missed by all.”

Mrs Lofthouse leaves one son, Duncan, and her daughter-in-law Linda.
