She has served the volunteer crew and the community well during her time at Teignmouth Lifeboat Station, Fundraising Chair and Volunteer Visits Crew, Wendy Richard Woods remarked how 'we are sure many of our supporters will have fond memories of visiting the station and meeting with our volunteers and learning all about how The Two Annes helps our crews to save lives at sea'.
