106 tributes, death and funeral notices from across Merseyside

Announcing the passing of a loved one in local news media is a long-standing tradition and we are proud of the trust placed in us to make these important announcements. Every notice published to our newspaper and news site also appears on funeral-notices.co.uk - the UK’s number one site for death notices and memoriams.

Every notice remains online forever. This helps to provide friends and families with a lifelong tribute to their loved one, a safe place online to share memories, add tributes, photographs and make donations in memory. The announcements also often share information regarding funerals, fundraising and flowers.

It gives people a chance to celebrate the lives of loved ones, pay respects to the health and care teams who looked after them. You can see the full list of family announcements by visiting the Liverpool ECHO section of our partner website funeral-notices.co.uk .

(Pat) Passed away peacefully in Southport Hospital on the 21st August with her son by her side. Beloved wife of the late Jim. Loving Mum to John and Mother in law to Stacey. Dearly loved Granny to Hannah, Mackenzie and Hudson. She brought joy to the people in her life, full of kindness to friends and family. She always put other peoples needs ahead of her own and she saw the best in everyone. She left a strong impact on the people she met and will be sorely missed.

Frank Porter

Passed away at Royal Liverpool Hospital. Aged 83 Years. Frank was a dearly loved husband of Joan for 62 years. (They met in the RAF in 1960) Precious caring Father of Jane, Sally and Kieron, as well as a second Dad to Martin, Phil and Francesca. As well as a loving Grandad and Great Grandad. He will be sadly missed far more than words can say. Always quietly spoken but with a good sense of humour, he was a kind and thoughtful husband and father with an innate awareness of the needs and sensitivities of his family and others. He was always a pleasure to be with and to talk to. As his devastated daughter Sally so aptly pointed out, she, Jane and Kieron have lost "the most amazing, kind, funny supportive Dad anyone could wish for and will miss his endless stories from the past as well as his quick wit and humour". As a skilled joiner, Frank could turn a piece of wood into a beautiful bookcase or piece of furniture and many of his customers around West Lancashire came to regard him as a friend. However it was his wish that at his death there would be no service or flowers and only Joan, Jane and Sally would accompany him to his cremation. Frank also did voluntary work in two local charity shops after he retired and many years earlier he was involved with the junior football team at Ormskirk Methodist Church.
