Tributes have been paid to Mary Allen, one of Southport’s “great characters” who has sadly died.
Mary was well known as a Southport Visiter advertising executive for many years, a champion water skier and a local business owner.
Her friend Julia Jones, who established Mary Jones Vintage & Glamour with Mary, said: “It is with great sadness that I learned that my fabulous friend and former business partner, Mary Allen, has sadly passed away.
“Mary was one of life’s characters, an indomitable spirit and a fiercely loyal friend.
“It was she who introduced me to vintage, having been left a huge collection by her friend.
“Together we established Mary Jones Vintage & Glamour – she being the Mary and I being the Jones! “I kept the name after she retired some years ago – she remained passionate about vintage and was a huge support.
“I have no doubt that she will now be very approaching the pearly gates, dressed to the nines, brandishing a croc handbag and demanding ‘show me the vintage in this place!’”
Speaking on the Mary Jones Vintage & Glamour Instagram page, Nadine Coyne said: “I am absolutely heartbroken for you all. Mary was a larger than life character who as you say could rock a pearl necklace, huge earrings and was definitely never under-dressed. She will be sadly missed.”
Another follower said: “I’m so sorry to hear this. What a classy and lovely lady.
“I remember when I first started doing vintage fairs and you were both so supportive and kind to me.
“Mary knew I liked a story behind a vintage piece and I remember her showing me a fabulous vintage (40s I think?) handbag with precious love letters from the original owner’s boyfriend inside. It was a magical, beautiful moment. Rest in Peace Mary.”

I have not checked in here for some time because I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are great quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
I cling on to listening to the news bulletin lecture about receiving free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the most excellent site to get one. Could you advise me please, where could i find some?
I too believe hence, perfectly written post! .
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
