I worked at Britex in 1985. I remember Lucy and Charman very well. It was a wonderful place to work.

Dear Bev and family, I just learn the very sad news. Lucy will still live as long as the store stays open. We are very happy to have known her. Our prayers are with all of you. Simone and Stephen Joseph. Los Angeles

I first entered The store in 1979 answering an ad for a cashier. My first impression was the floor to ceiling wall of wool arranged in color and pattern. There were salespeople standing on the ladders pulling out the fabrics to show eager and excited customers. There was such palatable energy and excitement that greeted me.

Far too many superlatives come to mind thinking back on my relationship with Mrs. Spector of Britex Fabrics, so I'll simply add my voice to the chorus saying it was an absolute pleasure & blessing of having had the opportunity of making her acquaintance. I was fortunate enough to be her account representative while employed at the Chronicle decades ago.
They don't make em like her any more, unfortunately. She leaves only good thoughts/memories behind, I am sure.
My condolences...

I worked well with Mrs Spector for many years selling Britex their packaging. She was always kind to me and till she stopped doing business with me, we enjoyed a pleasant working relationship.
RIP Mr Spector and thank you for the memories.
