was buried in a private ceremony.

Lady Winifred Helen Hood died on Tuesday at age 96. She was predeceased by her son David Wilkinson, the former Speaker of the House of Assembly.

Lady Hood is survived by her son, Edgar Wilkinson, daughter Sandra Outerbridge, and daughter-in-law Ina Wilkinson. A granddaughter, Wendy Wilkinson, also predeceased her.

She married Governor Hood in 1955 shortly after he abruptly resigned his post in April of that year.

The pair lived first in Ireland then on the European continent for ten years before returning to Bermuda in 1965 to live in Bailey's Bay.

A veteran of both World Wars, Lt. Gen. Hood died in 1980. Lady Winifred -- a former school teacher -- was his second wife and the pair travelled extensively.

A family member said Lady Hood lived at home until just two years ago when she was moved into a seniors' home. She had been very active until then.

TWO FACE HEROIN CHARGES CTS Two face heroin charges Two locals faced charges in Magistrates' Court last week for allegedly importing half a million dollars worth of heroin.

Tyrone Calvin Simmons, 26, of Cottage Hill, Hamilton Parish, and Shadonna Kelly Trott, 19, of the same address, are to appear for mention on October 1.

Simmons and Trott were charged with conspiring to import heroin, possession with intent to supply, and handling heroin earlier this year.

Both accused persons were bailed to court in the sum of $10,000 each with a like surety for the same amount.

Venus Telford, representing Trott, said her client had no previous convictions and should be allowed to make a planned trip to New York between November 8-11. Ms Telford argued her client should not have to surrender her travel documents.

Simmons appeared in court unrepresented.

Mr. Francis agreed with the suggestion of Crown Counsel Leighton Rochester that Trott should report to St. George's Police Station at least once a week between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
