We are sad to say that longstanding Windmiler Doreen Offredi passed away on 26th February 2025, aged 96.
Although she did not start running until age 58, Doreen was a familiar sight at Windmiler runs and races for many years.
In particular, her achievements at various marathons earned her a Windmiler Marathon Runner of the Year award and she completed the London Marathon at age 80 becoming the oldest woman to complete the race that year!
Windmilers will remember her resilient spirit, the twinkle in her eye and her great determination and achievements.
If you didn’t know Doreen, these pictures show her running the London Marathon, along with the Windmilers post-race party that followed, giving you an idea of her marvellous character!
