I was so sorry to hear about Effie. My condolences to all the family. I will never forget the kindness she gave to Frank and I when we came to the borders 30 years ago. Her stories and poems will go on. Love Alexis Campbell. X

For several decades Ancrum Football Club players would come off the park win, lose or draw, and their yellow and blue shirts, shorts and socks, usually covered in mud would be bundled into a bag and taken away by Tommy. They would miraculously reappear the following week spotless, ironed and smelling lovely. We had a secret member in our team, one who did all this invaluable work behind the scenes. Effie played a huge role in our club and we will all be forever grateful to her. All those who wore the kit with pride are thinking of the family at this sad time.

Sending deepest sympathy. I worked with Effie in 1988/89 at Jedburgh Kiltmakers when I was a youngster. Effie made us laugh a lot and was some character. I remember her with the fondest of memories. Thinking of you all.

Attending a funeral FAQs
What should I wear?
We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.
How long does a service last?
Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.
Where should I sit?
Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.
Where should I send flowers?
Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
