Biography

Maizee (Feaviour) Rodgers was born in Norfolk, England.

Maizee Glenuster Feaviour was born on August 1, 1920 in Walsoken, Norfolk. She was the youngest daughter of Alexander Edward Feaviour and Rose Hannah Bunning.^[1]

Her father died two weeks before she was born. When she was baptised at All Saints' Church, Walsoken on October 3, 1920^[2], her older siblings were baptised at the same time.^[3]

Maizee met Bob Rodgers, who was a boarder at her mother's house, having travelled down from County Durham looking for work. They were married on January 7, 1939.^[4] Since Bob was a Catholic, Maizee converted from the Church of England to Roman Catholicism in order to be married at the Catholic Church in Wisbech.^[3]

The couple had six children; Ann, Robert, Veronica, Rosemary, Patricia and Kevin.^[3]

Maizee became an officially registered childminder in 1952 and looked after many of the children in Wisbech, who knew her as "Auntie Maizee".^[3]

On May 16, 2003, Maizee died at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in King's Lynn. She was 82 years old.^[5] A funeral service was held at the catholic church in Wisbech on 22 May 2003.^[3]
