A well known face on British television, Claire Rayner has passed away at the age of 79 after a battle with cancer.
A former nurse and midwife, she worked for the Sun, the Sunday Mirror, and Woman’s Own. For many years she was president of the Patient’s Association.
Reportedly, she knew that her death was imminent over the weekend, and told relatives what she wanted her last words to be:
