Such a tragic loss in devastating accident

There cannot be any disguising the sense of shock that has been felt across the Oban area and further afield in Argyll following the terrible fatal accident that shook our communities this week.

Joolz Goodman died early on Monday morning following a crash on theA816 near Kilmelford as she made her way to work in Oban. Joolz, who was 53, owned The Little Potting Shed in the town centre, a popular and welcoming cafe renowned for its vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menus. She was also a well-known figure in the Lochgilphead area where she lived.

Such was the high regard in which she was held that there was an immediate and heartfelt outpouring of grief, with fulsome tributes being paid.

The messages were led by her husband, Russell, with whom she ran the cafe in John Street, and who broke the awful news on Monday evening.

The loss of Joolz will be felt by a wide range of people and organisations, but mostly by her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
