[caption id="attachment_23648" align="alignleft" width="206"] Sue Keen PAOS 2023[/caption] Peterborough Artists' Open Studios (PAOS) committee member and exhibiting artist Sue Keen very sadly passed away peacefully on 14th July 2023 aged 69. Her passing was unexpected and has come as a big shock to us all.    Fellow PAOS member Prue Pye, Sue's good friend, has very kindly written the following tribute to her:-   "Our dear funny creative friend Sue Keen has desperately sadly passed away and will be hugely missed. We have shared a journey within PAOS with Sue being her inimitable self as secretary for many years.  We’d once again just completed 3 weekends of Open Studios where her company and laughter and beautifully crafted textiles and drawings were beautifully displayed. Many of you will have memories of that.  Prue Pye xxx"   [caption id="attachment_23649" align="alignright" width="281"] Sue Keen Artwork[/caption] Needless to say the PAOS committee echoes Prue's words. We will miss Sue's company, wonderful art work and the knowledge she brought to the committee as secretary. We send our condolences to Sue's family and friends. You are in our thoughts.   Kerry, Sue's daughter, has sent us the following information regarding her funeral:-   "Just to let you all know that my mum's funeral (Sue Keen) will be at Peterborough Crematorium at 2pm on Friday 4th August. All are welcome. Please wear colourful clothes. We will be having the wake at the Burghley Club afterwards where there will be tea and coffee as well as the usual bar and a buffet. Bring all of your memories and funny stories."
