According to a post on Pollyanna Pickering’s Facebook page, Pollyanna Pickering is dead(See the screenshot below).

From the screenshot.

It is with the deepest sadness that we have to inform everyone of the news that Pollyanna Pickering passed away last week following a short illness.

Pollyanna’s daughter Anna-Louise is currently staying with family. We ask that you understand that she may be unable to reply personally to letters and messages received at this time, but hopes everyone will understand and be assured that their thoughts are much appreciated at this difficult time.

The work of the Pollyanna Pickering Foundation will of course continue, and future fundraising exhibitions of Pollyanna’s work are planned.

There is to be a memorial service for Pollyanna held on Wednesday 18th April in Sheffield.

We would ask that her final wishes are observed, and there are family flowers only. Donations to the Pollyanna Pickering Foundation would be welcomed instead.
