Obituary: Mia Woodruff
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AS WELL as possessing a warm heart and resolute mind, my aunt Mia Woodruff had an individual, on occasions startling, sense of humour, writes P. G. A. Eyre (further to the obituary by Roland Hill, 7 April). Although she was a devout Roman Catholic, one of her favourite stories was of being met on the station platform, as she alighted from a train bringing pilgrims back to Liverpool, by a group of opponents bearing on a platter a large ham labelled 'Cured at Lourdes'.
