BiographyHistory

Patricia Simpson 'moved to Gawler in 1928. Owing to an accident after completing Grade 1 she had no further schooling. At 15 she went to work in the clothing industry.. The death of her husband in 1982 highlighted her illiteracy and at the age of fifty-eight she contacted the Brighton Branch of Adult literacy and was allotted a tutor.'
