This site is dedicated to the memory of Felicity Hilder.
It is with great sadness that we pay tribute to Felicity Hilder, trustee and co-founder of the Lymphoma Association, who died on 7 May 2015 after a long illness.
Together with her husband Tim, Felicity was part of the group who formally launched the Lymphoma Association as a national charity in 1986. She continued to be one of the charity’s trustees right up until her death, taking it from a small operation based in her home with £276 in the bank to a thriving organisation with about 30 staff, 200 volunteers and an annual income of around £1.2million.
Felicity was awarded an OBE in the 2012 New Year Honours list for charitable services, something she said she was honoured to receive, accepting it on behalf of her late husband Tim and herself.
Felicity's passing is a loss for the whole lymphoma community - along with Tim, she was the rock on which so much of the charity's information and support work was built.
She inspired us all and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
