Obituary: Gill Hollander was a dynamic and driving force behind the establishment of peacehospice
A mother, grandmother, keen gardener and golfer, Gill Hollander was a devoted and dedicated charity worker whose loyalty and support to the hospice she helped found in Watford will be remembered by many.
They moved to St Christopher School in Letchworth in January 1940 where Gill stayed until she was 16. A great lover of gardening, Gill was a keen golfer and was appointed Lady Captain at Moor Park Golf Club in 1985, and served as a Justice of the Peace on the Watford bench for 20 years. A Peace Hospice appeal was established in 1991, with Gill as the first chair. She quickly assembled a team of experts to assist her, including doctors Robin Gain and Patrick Russell, solicitor Paul Nicholas, accountant Nigel Munday and Mike Jackson, then leader of Watford Council. Another key appointment was Helen Ellis, who became the appeal’s first CEO and their only paid employee.
Having achieved this landmark, Gill stood down as chair of the trustees, to be succeeded by Robin Gain. However, she continued to be closely involved with the hospice for the rest of her life.
