Xinia/Finlay1

[Annie65115]

Regulars on the Leicester board will remember Xinia aka Finlay1. Sadly I have Xin's daughter's permission to post some bad news - namely that Xinia passed away just before Xmas.

I never met Xinia but had lots of contact with her both on the forum and on PMs and I'm sure lots of us can say the same. She was always ready to help, and always cheerful despite her failing health.

I don’t think Xinia’s daughter will mind me quoting her when I say that Xin “spoke so much about her interactions on here, her family history was an enormous part of her life and it gave her so much joy and excitement when she discovered a new 'rellie' or another line to investigate”. 

I have missed Xinia since she stopped using RC and I’m sure that all that knew her will also miss her but remember her with a smile  😊

What sad news. She seemed to be a lovely kind person.

We had the pleasure to meet her and her hubbie at a RootsChatters funeral in Leicester, such a lovely lady.

So sad to hear this news, I was only thinking about Xinia recently wondering what had happened to her.

Oh how very sad.

Xin was a one off.  She and Rabbit were a team and then Rabbit died and now Xin, bless her.

Thanks for letting us know, Annie.

Thanks Annie for letting us know, I raised a thread that she started called "Pain Relief" a couple of times to get a response and I think it was Rosie who had joined me as we were both wondering about her not being around. She was suffering really badly with her back.
So sad and a great loss to the board. She was a great artist and I encouraged her to get her paints out when she was feeling low, and she did and put one up as her Avatar. She had a whacky sense of humour adding her own twist with her photo restorations.
What a loss 
RIP Xin. 🌹

So sad to hear the news about Xin.  She was a lovely lady and her posts were always fun to read.

I always remember she often used moving text in her posts, so ......

Goodnight and God bless Xin, from your Rootschat friends, RIP xxx

Thanks Annie for letting us know.

So very sad news.

My Bowman Flag waves because Xin made it so.   

May it wave for ever in recognition of her fine contributions to RChat.

Thank you Annie for letting us know.    May her family be comforted in knowing that we are saddened by her passing.
