Coaching community mourns the passing of Mona Denison

June 05, 2024

The BSCA have been informed of the peaceful passing of Mona Denison, wife of former BSCA Chair Terry, on Friday 31st May, after a period of illness. They had been married for 61 years.

Terry & Mona were forever by one another’s side and were fundamental in the success of the City of Leeds SC and the Council run programme for almost three decades, from the 1970’s onwards, that saw a production line of Olympians and record holders being produced, leading to Adrian Moorehouse’s Olympic Gold in Seoul in 1988. Terry has been overwhelmed by the kind messages and calls he’s received, reminding him of the love and esteem that Mona was held in.

Mona’s funeral service will be held on Thursday 20th June 2024, at 10.45am in Cottingley Hall Crematorium, Ring Road, Leeds, LS11 0EU.

Family flowers only but they ask that any donations be made to Mencap.
