STAFF and residents at a Bromsgrove care home took time out to remember a former member of staff who died earlier this year, by planting a rose bush and laying a memorial plaque.

Diane Crowther worked as a registered general nurse at St John’s Court Nursing Home from 2002 to 2011.

Her husband Terry Crowther and other family members were invited along to the memorial service, where people took time out to remember the 67-year-old with a glass of bubbly, while another staff member, health care assistant Eileen Pinfield, read out a poem she had written for Diane.
