An Abingdon woman who told one of her daughters that she would die when the Queen Mother dies, passed away 14 hours after the Queen Mother.
Emily Curtis died in the early hours of Easter Sunday morning at The Close private nursing home in Burcot, just three days short of her 100th birthday.
She had been suffering from progressive dementia for the last few years.
Her youngest daughter Daphne Evens said: "My mother told me many times that when the Queen Mother died she would die. She was only a few hours out. It is absolutely amazing. In another three months she would have been 100."
Mrs Curtis moved to Abingdon in 1940 with her husband Capt Ernest Curtis who served for 27 years in the Royal Army Service Corps. They were living in the garrison town of Colchester but moved to what was considered to be a safer area in Abingdon.
An active charity worker Mrs Curtis belonged to the Mothers Union, Women's Institute and Over-60s club.
