\n

Alexandra Anitra Buck (n\u00e9e Larcombe)
\n17 March 1973 \u2013 14 August 2025
\nAlexandra Anitra Buck died on 14 August 2025, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, determination, and love that touched countless lives.
\nBorn Alexandra Anitra Larcombe on 17 March 1973, Alex was the cherished daughter of Irene, an only child born in Dar-es-Salaam to a Polish mother and Yorkshire father, and Ewan, the eldest of seven Wraysbury children from the post-war baby-boomer era.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With an elder brother Tony and younger brother Andrew, Alex grew up surrounded by the warmth of a large and rapidly expanding multi-generational family of grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins who gathered regularly.
\nAlex became the loving link between the Larcombe and Buck families when she married Robert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Together they raised three children\u2014Adam, Harry, and Hollie\u2014and it was motherhood that inspired Alex to pursue her calling as a midwife.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nShe dedicated 25 years to the NHS and spent a large portion of this time at Wexham Park Hospital who will be feeling the loss of a respected team member.
\nWith characteristic self-starting qualities, ambition, and single-minded determination to succeed, she attended college and worked her way up through the midwifery profession, making many friends along the way.
\nThose who knew Alex will remember her as a listener, an organiser, and a fixer always operating at peak performance. She had so much still to offer, and her loss will be felt by many forever.
\nAlex is survived by her husband Robert, her children Adam, Harry and Hollie, her parents Irene and Ewan, her brothers Tony and Andrew, and her vast extended family and many friends.<\/p>\n

The image below dates from early 1988.\u00a0 Alex is standing on a large diameter water pipe near Wraysbury Railway Station\u00a0 – above what remains of the seriously damaged Horton Drain – and immediately prior to the catastrophic failure of the railway bridge (just out of view to the right of the image).\u00a0 You can find further details here<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
