Juliet Quilter

Juliet Quilter 1965 – 2024

Trustee, volunteer, friend.

Juliet was a direct descendent of Cuthbert Quilter, who built Bawdsey Manor. The Manor played a significant role in the early development of radar and Juliet played a significant role for many years in the support and development of Bawdsey Radar Trust and museum.

Juliet held various roles during her many years of support including as trustee, volunteer and Membership Secretary. Her knowledge and interest never waned and Bawdsey Radar benefitted from her steadfastness, loyalty and commitment.

The church was packed for the service of thanksgiving for Juliet’s life and contribution; she supported many local organisations and charities with characteristic directness, humour and efficiency. We shall miss Juliet. The trustees and volunteers here at Bawdsey Radar are grateful for her support and friendship.

We send our sincere condolences to Guy, Jenny and their boys.

 

From Mary Wain,  President Bawdsey Radar

It was an exciting day in 2015 when Juliet accepted an invitation to become a trustee of Bawdsey Radar.  Her presence on the Board as a member of the Quilter family, the original owners of Bawdsey Manor, enhanced Bawdsey Radar’s link to the heritage of the Manor and the significance of its role in the development of radar.  It was a sad day when after a few years of service Juliet had to give up her role as trustee but fortunately she decided to continue to work with Bawdsey Radar as a volunteer. She always worked with enthusiasm and consistency, essential attributes for both volunteering and being a trustee.

Her early death this summer came as a great shock to us all. Juliet’s involvement with Bawdsey Radar had led me to discover I had acquired a very good friend and I will sorely miss her.
