Pauline Cutting (1932 – 2021), a member of St Luke’s Leagrave and a longstanding member & supporter of Luton Council of Faiths (LCoF) & Luton Food Bank had passed away on 1st Nov’21.
In her funeral service, held on 29th Nov’21 at 10:30am at St Luke’s Leagrave, David Jonathan (Johny), on behalf of Luton Council of Faiths (LCoF) presented QAVS (Queens Award for Voluntary Services) Badge to her son Michael, for his mother Pauline Cutting’s immense support and contributions to the work of Luton Council of Faiths and Luton Food Bank.
Johny said during Inter Faith Week on 15th Nov’21 an event was held to celebrate Luton Council of Faiths (LCoF) completing 20 years since registered as an independent Charity and 25 years, since founded as Inter Faith Forum. This event also acknowledged the tremendous contributions of several of LCoF volunteers, faith and community leaders, supporters and partners. All those invited were honoured by the Queens Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS) Badge Presentations on 15th Nov’21.
Pauline Cutting was remembered and dearly missed at this event.
At the funeral service, before presenting Pauline Cutting’s QAVS Badge to her son Michael, Johny recalled during his 20 years of service with GRASSROOTS & LCoF, one particular experience has never been repeated twice. And that is watching a British Indian Hindu, British Pakistani Muslim, an African Muslim, a Caribbean & Indian Christian, all enjoying home-made pancakes at Pauline Cutting’s house on Shrove Tuesday and donating money for St Luke’s Church and Luton Food Bank.
Long live the spirit of Pauline Cutting. She was truly an inspirational and charismatic human being. We will miss her.
