Long established Costa Blanca journalist Cathy Humphreys has died

IT WAS with a sense of sadness that we at the Euro Weekly News have learned of the death of Cathy Humphreys who has been a stalwart of the Costa Blanca News and the Post for some 30 years, during which time she graduated from being an office junior to an editor and, most recently, she has been involved in the social scene as well as local news.

Born in Castleton near Rochdale, she moved to the Costa Brava in 1976 helping tourists and then transferred to Benidorm two years later still working in the tourist industry but by 1985 had joined the English language newspaper Costa Blanca News and worked for the publishing group ever since.

Cathy had suffered from a major illness for some time and sadly passed away early in the New Year.
