Dental practitioner Miss Gillian Rosalind Mack died in December 2008. Gillian came from a distinguished dental family and inherited her father's dental practice in Ealing.

She studied dental surgery at The Royal Dental Hospital from 1958-1963. During that time she was elected Secretary of the Student's Society on two consecutive years. She was for some years Secretary of the Middlesex and Hertfordshire Branch of the BDA. Her father was the first secretary and started the branch in the immediate post-war years. Gillian was a keen horsewoman and played polo in her early years and will be sadly missed by friends and colleagues.
