Karen Merton

I’m Eve Merton’s daughter and I couldn’t be prouder. We’re a family originally from London but we have made Doncaster our home.

Me and my mum would go shopping together every week in the town but we particularly loved the Market where mum worked for many years before retiring. I miss my mum everyday and I know many other people do too.

In 2010/11 I watched my mum fight this terrible disease called Cancer, a fight she lost in January 2011. I will remember her for the great stuff she did in her community and the way she lived her life. The Eve Merton’s Dreams Trust, or Evestrust as it’s become known, is a group of family and friends that honours my mum’s memory by helping local people fight the fight that she faced.
