Date published: 04 November 2016


Joanne Eccles formerly Klieve (nee Mitchell) died suddenly on 16 October 2016.

Joanne will have been known to many at the Littleborough RUFC as she managed a multitude of junior sides and many current players will have fond and happy memories of her.

She also served on the junior committee and played a prominent role in creating the foundations of the junior and mini set up Littleborough RUFC has today.

Sam Dickinson said: “I remember her as mum to former first team regular Eddy Klieve, whom we also pass on our deepest condolences, and as such would rarely, if ever, miss a game that Eddy was involved with.

“She will be greatly missed by all at Littleborough RUFC and may she rest in peace.”

Funeral service and committal to take place on Friday 11 November at Rochdale Crematorium at 10.30am.
