ANGIE Goff, who has died aged 75, was fiercely dedicated to Wolvercote and a key figure in the area.

The Oxford city councillor was a familiar face in the city she lived her whole life, but was also a mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Mrs Goff was loved for her bubbly personality as much as her commitment to local issues and will be sorely missed.

Angie Goff was born in Oxford on October 2, 1942.

Her father, Ron, worked at Morris Motors in Cowley and was chairman of the Wolvercote Commoners, a role Angie would eventually take on herself, while mother Jean did not work.

Ron was later awarded an MBE for his services to the community and Angie, maiden name Bateman, had a similar impact on Wolvercote through years of service.

She had one younger brother, Colin, and attended Wolvercote Primary School, as did her son Simon and grandchildren many years later.

Her secondary school years were spent at Central Girls' School on New Inn Hall Street, which is now part of St Peter's College.

In the 1970s Angie married George Stacey Goff and the pair moved to the Jordan Hill area of the city with young son Simon.

George worked at Wolvercote Paper Mill and Angie briefly took a job there, before spending several years working for the NHS, including as a receptionist at Wolvercote surgery and in the pacemaker department at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

In addition to being chairman of the Wolvercote Commoners for many years, Mrs Goff was a member of Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum.

She was lauded for her dedication and was elected as Liberal Democrat Oxford city councillor for Wolvercote in May 2016.

Despite sitting on a range of committees, she found time to enjoy plenty of hobbies.

Mrs Goff was a huge fan of country music, attending everything from small gigs to big festivals - she and George even hired a camper van for concerts held further afield.

She loved travelling and often holidayed on Rhodes Island, Greece.

Mrs Goff played plenty of bowls in her later years, including after her husband passed away in 2010, and was a huge fan of Liverpool Football Club.

She passed away on October 1 from chronic respiratory problems and is survived by her son Simon.

The council’s city flag above Oxford Town Hall will be lowered to half-mast on the day of her funeral, October 26, which will be held at Wolvercote Cemetery at 1pm.
