The Requiem Mass of Ann Widdecombe will take place on August 12 at Buckfast Abbey in a private gathering of friends and family. The abbey, which was her regular place of worship, called Widdecombe a “woman of profound faith”.
The Requiem Mass will be offered by the Right Reverend David Charlesworth OSB, Abbot of Buckfast.
In a statement, Buckfast Abbey said: “Ann was a frequent worshipper in the Abbey Church, attending our Sunday Solemn Mass and notably attended our Holy Week and Easter services. Many in our worshipping community knew her as a kind and warm character. She will be missed and fondly remembered.
