A STOURPORT woman who had been waiting 16 months for a special bath or shower to be fitted in her home has died - without the improvements ever going ahead.
Gladys Teague's plight came to light in March when it emerged there had been a delay in referring her to occupational therapists for the installation of an easy-access shower in the Park Crescent home of the frail 78-year-old.
A huge backlog in housing grants had held her case back further.
This week her daughter, Susan Jordan, announced that Mrs Teague died in Worcestershire Royal Hospital on Saturday morning with her family at her bedside.
She had been suffering from a chest infection.
Mrs Teague's funeral will be held at St Michael's Church, Stourport on Monday at 11am.
