A car crash which occurred in Langleybury resulted in a woman from Croxley Green tragically losing her life. Judith Cattermoul, 57, of Frankland Close, Croxley Green, was driving a black Ford Ka along Langleybury Lane just after 8am on Wednesday November 21st when the collision occurred. The mother of two and former district nurse was sadly pronounced dead at the scene after firefighters from Garston spent over an hour attempting to free her from the wreckage. A silver Mercedes CLK, a silver Renault Scenic, a yellow Renault Clio and a white Berlingo van were the other vehicles involved in the crash. The drivers of the Clio and Berlingo van were treated for minor injuries, while the 55-year-old driver of the Scenic was treated for shock. All were treated at Watford General Hospital. Jo Squire, who is a Churchwarden at All Saints Church, told My Abbots that Judith had the caring nature in her and was always ready to help people. She said: “She was always helping and visiting someone. She did meals on wheels and because she was a nurse, she was always caring for people. “She helped out with social events for the church and was very popular within the community. She had just retired and planned to do some travelling with her husband. She will be missed very much.” Former Croxley Green resident Martin Booth, who now works on a newspaper in Bristol, was taught by Judith at the Sunday School he attended at All Saints Church and was obviously very sad to hear of her family’s loss. He told My Abbots: “She was very kind and very caring and always put others before herself. Sunday school was a better place for her. “I didn't go to church as much when I got older, but I knew that she always took a keen interest in what I was up to, reading all my stories in the Watford Observer when I was working as a reporter there. And when I did see her, we normally had a good chat.”
