Wife of Sir Nigel Southward, Annette Southward, death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/southward-notices_56104

 

Sir Nigel is eminently obitable, having formerly been Apothecary to HM The Queen, the Royal Household and various members of the extended Royal Family. 

They could do with him right now.

I thought people might have been all over this one but I have searched and not seen it mentioned

 

Zoe Ball is absent from her Radio 2 Breakfast show as her mother (who divorced her Dad when she was 2) has been diagnosed with cancer

 

Unlikely to get a direct obituary but might get some coverage

It's a very generous employer who will give you the day off work because your mother has been diagnosed with something.

What do they do if she actually dies?

Apparently? I would hope he knew his wife had Alzheimer's when he filed for a conservatorship, otherwise he's probably on track to get it himself.

Does he try and jog her memory by going "have you seen this? did you hear about this?"
