She served her community for more than four decades

Tributes have been paid to a Doncaster parish council stalwart who served her community for more than four decades.

Auckley Parish Council has paid tribute following the death of parish councillor Marjorie Caygill, who was also clerk for more than 40 years.

A parish council spokesperson said: “It is with much sadness to report that Marjorie passed away on 9 July 2026 following a period of illness borne with immense fortitude and dignity.

“Marjorie's contribution to the parish council and wider community is immeasurable.

“She was Clerk to the Council for over 40 years and on her retirement was co-opted to the council.

“She also served on the Richard Metcalfe Charity Committee as secretary, worked at Auckley Surgery and served as a member of Cantley with Branton Parish Council.

“Deepest sympathy is extended to her family and many friends. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. “
