Tributes, readings and sermon delivered at Funeral, 2nd July 2025
Introduction
Welcome to our service today where we remember Liz but of course so much more importantly we give thanks to God for all that Liz meant to us and so many others; for her work as a surgeon and here in this community.
Liz’s sister, Trish
Elizabeth was born in Maidenhead, the second living child to a brother Peter. We were living in a large school house belonging to the grammar school where our father was Headmaster. There were massive playing fields adjacent to the house which allowed outside play and a large airing cupboard which we would hide in. During this time we did have an annual holiday in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. This was organised by a Christian fellowship group.
When Elizabeth was 10 we moved to Cambridge with our father becoming head of Cambridgeshire High School for Boys. Our parents bought their only house, called Wandlebury House. Elizabeth and myself had to share a bedroom as we always had a paying guest to help with finance.
Shortly after moving, Elizabeth wrote an essay for a competition about the coronation for the local newspaper. This she won, and was given a set of miniatures as a show piece including horses and the coronation coach.
Elizabeth took her 11 plus, gaining top place and then went to The Perse School for Girls, a direct grant school. Here she made many life long friends. As well as academically, Elizabeth excelled in tennis and hockey.
Before the beginning of sixth form, Elizabeth had joined a congregational church and had been inspired to “go into the church”. She therefore chose Arts subjects for A levels, including Religious Studies. However, after one term she changed her mind and switched to the Sciences, feeling she could serve God and Humanity by becoming a doctor. Growing up in Cambridge, Elizabeth enjoyed and helped in our parent’s garden. She and Peter played cricket, badminton, bowls and we all played card games in the evenings, Eagling rummy. Elizabeth occasionally would please me and play Monopoly. We had no television and had to amuse ourselves as our mother taught part time, first at the local teacher training college, Homerton, and later full time at the local technical school.
I do remember Elizabeth and our mother making endless Victoria sponges to try to get first prize. Unfortunately our old gas cooker did not help this endeavour.
Elizabeth and myself were often sent off in the holidays to stay in Leighton Buzzard with our maternal grandmother. There we were taken to the local park, and to see the railway. We amused ourselves reading and doing jigsaw puzzles. Our brother Peter had a much more exciting time staying with the paternal grandparents in Cambridge. He spent time with our uncle down at the boatyard.
Both Peter and Elizabeth joined the Scouts and Guides and enjoyed camping together with their troops and also in the back garden. They had no other holidays apart from trips arranged by the school.
We did not have a car so we all cycled to school and to the other side of Cambridge to visit our paternal grandparents.
When Elizabeth and Peter were very young in Maidenhead our parents had a dog, but once in Cambridge this was not possible so we had a cat and Elizabeth later had a tortoise. She was very interested in birds and was very upset when our father knocked down the swallows’ nest, built in the eaves of Wandlebury House.
After finishing school, Elizabeth went to Westminster Hospital Medical school. During this time she rented a flat with other students at 81 Belgrave Road, SW1. She paid £5 a week and painted her room deep purple and gold. There was a shared kitchen with a bath in it. I remember all of this because later Mike and myself took on this flat when we were first married.
During her medical training Elizabeth started listening to the Archers on the radio. This, as far as I understand, she continued to listen to for the rest of her life. At this time she acquired a Lambretta, which worried our mother considerably, but this allowed frequent visits to Wandlebury House.
Elizabeth did her surgical training at Roehampton Hospital. It must be at this time that she decided she wanted to be a surgeon and not a physician. Later she had various training jobs at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, in both Neurology and Ophthalmology. During this time Elizabeth gained her Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons. Elizabeth had hoped to stay in Cambridge to continue her working life; however she gained a Consultant post in Ophthalmology in Birmingham at the young age of 31.
Elizabeth bought her first property, a ground floor flat near the river. Later she exchanged this for a bungalow. She acquired a kitten on the day of Peter’s wedding.
She was living in the bungalow when she met Anthony through a friend at the age of 39, and they married. Anthony was a great support to her, cooking meals after very long operating hours. She told me that many times she had had to spend over 12 hours trying to save the eyesight of a child involved in a car accident. This was the time of the opening of the M1 motorway. Seat belts in the rear of a car did not become mandatory until 1991. Elizabeth wrote a book on eye injuries, which I believe is still in print today.
Anthony and Elizabeth created a lovely garden at the bungalow with a pond and later created a studio in the garage. At this point they had a lovely dog called Susie.
During Elizabeth’s working life, her leisure time was often spent helping our parents at the weekend in their garden or coming to visit us. She spent a whole weekend helping us to paint the conservatory in our London house. However, Mike was not amused that I had loaned a pair of his corduroy trousers that never recovered their former glory. Back to Wandlebury House, Elizabeth and our father would always do the difficult crosswords and discuss current affairs , however he was a little annoyed when she hired a scarifier to remove the moss in the front lawn, leaving my father with a very large mound. At Christmas time, Elizabeth was the person to decorate the tree, often with her own origami stars. Elizabeth liked driving at this point and had exchanged the Lambretta for an Alfasud. When mother had a chip fire in the scullery of Wandlebury House, Elizabeth spent the whole weekend cleaning up and repainting a massive area.
In 1999 our father died suddenly. At his point Elizabeth had been struggling with the long hours that surgery required and had been made Medical Director of the Birmingham Eye Hospital. Not an easy job. Her own health was diminished after losing half a lung. She therefore made the decision to retire to hopefully live together with Anthony and our mother in Cambridge. Elizabeth sold the Birmingham bungalow. For various reasons this arrangement at Wandlebury House did not work and Elizabeth and Anthony bought The Punch Bowl. However Elizabeth continued to support our mother, fielding endless phone calls and arranging carers.
Life for Anthony and Elizabeth now became very different. There was much work to be done creating a happy home with study for both and a studio for Anthony. Also in the garden they created raised beds and greenhouses. Various cats were acquired.
Elizabeth kept her brain active by starting on an Open University Maths course and then, enabled by her clarity of vision and expression, helped to gain lottery funds for the village hall. I believe she has a plaque in this hall showing their gratitude.
Also during this time Elizabeth showed big support to her nephews and niece, John and Eliza by supporting them through University and Samuel by housing him when he started at UEA trying for a second degree in Maths.
Elizabeth’s health during this time gradually deteriorated but she was greatly supported by Rachel and latterly Martin. Rachel started as her cleaner but later became her carer. Without Rachel’s long term support life would have been very difficult but with her help I am delighted to say that Elizabeth was able to remain in her own home until she died.
Looking back over Elizabeth’s life to write this eulogy, I realise how kind my big sister has always been. In my family she was always known as Aunty Bibba. This is because as a young child, I could not pronounce Elizabeth. However most people called her Liz.
It was through Elizabeth that I met Michael, my husband. Elizabeth and Mike had many skiing holidays together with other friends when our children were very young . They had similar inquiring minds and great discussions regarding Medicine. Also she was always there as a listening post for both myself and Peter.
Elizabeth; Liz; Bibba was a wonderful daughter, sister and aunt.
I shall greatly miss her.
Friend, Vicky Woodward’s reflections, together with further friends, Sue and Liz
Our memories of Liz go back to our school days when we were class mates for seven years in the 1950s and early 1960s. Liz’s name was always at the top of every achievement list, but she could never have been labelled a swot. She was good at all subjects and games, smiling, chatty, never a good-goody. Out of school we remember particularly our Girl Guide activities. Liz was very keen, and at a country park outside Cambridge where we lived we were able to pitch tents, make rope bridges (Liz’s speciality) and rope ladders, do all sorts of complicated knots and eat a selection of burnt food which we had cooked on camp fires. Liz became a Queen’s Guide and loved the outdoor life. The only thing that defeated her was needlework, at which she did not excel … and I think she may have failed her driving test first time – but I am not sure.
No one was surprised when she achieved the highest grades at O level and A level, and sailed into medical school in London. After school there were some adventures together in Switzerland and Italy but we gradually lost regular touch, as our lives took us in different directions. We heard that she had passed the FRCS examinations at the first attempt, and that she had become an Ophthalmologist and was working at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital.
But it wasn’t until a reunion to celebrate our 50th birthdays that we learned that she was not only a consultant, but, as we remember, clinical director of the hospital. More than that we did not know. Since Liz’s death, I have heard from several of her former colleagues, of her outstanding qualities.
Here are some comments about her professional achievements – and I quote:
“Although her subspecialty interest was vitreo retinal surgery (one of the few women in the world to be doing this at the time) she could turn her hand to any kind of ophthalmic surgery”
“She was a great person to ask for a second opinion as her ophthalmological knowledge was encyclopaedic”
A third: “Miss Eagling ( her maiden name) was a wonderful and inspiring ophthalmologist … As a surgeon she could just as easily tackle anything from the front to the back of the eye with ease whilst humming her favourite songs. A rare and real talent. She will be greatly missed as an icon in ophthalmology”
“She was an excellent teacher and of course we all had the book that she had co-authored with Michael Roper Hall “Eye injuries: an illustrated guide”
“In theatre she was a superstar”
And here are some of their comments about her personal qualities:
“She was extremely well liked, and got on very well with all the theatre staff”
“Always smiling and always pleasant to all”
“She really cared about her patients”
“As one of my teachers and guides I am forever indebted to her”
“It was a privilege to know her and work with her. She was a wonderful person and a truly great ophthalmologist”
“She was extremely kind to me … I will always be eternally grateful to her”
In those days junior doctors were terrified of consultants, but Liz was always firm and fair, approachable both as a boss and an examiner for the College”
Not only a busy doctor, Liz also wrote and contributed to many articles for learned journals. She was President of the Midland Ophthalmological Society between 1987 and 1988.
These are major achievements for anyone, let alone a woman … even now it is rare for a woman to rise right to the top of their profession.
But we knew nothing of this at the time, and heard only that she had retired early and bought a house with a huge garden in the depths of the Norfolk countryside and was busy propagating plants in her greenhouses – no doubt well on the way to a gold medal from the Royal Horticultural Society.
What was astonishing was that she never mentioned her past career… she said that she had simply closed that chapter of her life.
What was also surprising was that for at least the last 20 years of her life, she had very serious health issues herself – and underwent major surgery on more than one occasion. But you would never have guessed – she seemed to make light of it all. On a visit to her when she was in Papworth Hospital after a major heart operation, she happened to be being interviewed by some very young medical students who were asking her banal questions – Liz just let them ask away, not for a moment giving any indication that she already knew more than a little about medicine.
Now being aware of how much she achieved professionally, we can’t help feeling proud to have known her. And when we are thinking of Liz, we will always be in awe of her determination, her incredible modesty, her good humour and her unbelievable courage, both mental and physical. It is a small comfort to know that right to the very end, she was in charge of her life and destiny, knowing exactly what lay before her. May we thank Rachel for her loving care of our old friend – who was a very remarkable woman.
Sue, Liz and Vicky
Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a, 11-13
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.1 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.2 If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.3
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant4 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;5 it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth.6 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.7
Love never ends.8a
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.11 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.12 And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.13
Sermon: Reverend Tim Weatherstone
Whilst I rarely offer a talk or sermon at a service of this kind, I felt it was important, especially as Liz and Anthony did not have children of their own, to say out loud what a remarkable person Liz was and how what she did will stand as an example long to be remembered, of real charity, although I doubt she would call it that.
I have chosen parts of the very well known and popular reading from 1 Corinthians 13, all about love. I do so because Liz did love very hard. She loved her husband and wider family, she loved her work, she had excellent relationships with many of her team where she worked and of course she had many here in Garvestone whom she loved and who loved her in return.
She had little interest in accolades, which in itself is a sign of considerable humility even though given her profession she was certainly in line for them. It seems she wrote a book as Mr Google has hinted, although given the subject matter is eye injuries that’s probably a bit more than I could stomach.
And so to our reading. This is not describing love merely of a romantic nature, but a love with purpose and real practical impact. The Apostle Paul has spoken elsewhere of his love for Christ who as he says ‘Loved me and gave Himself up for me’ and so we can be fairly sure that when he wrote this passage, Christ was his model ultimately but also that he saw this love in many places, all coming from this model.
And our scriptural text talks about a love that Liz put into practice, because it does not judge; it’s not stupid either but it does not judge and always hopes for the best, believing all things and hoping all things.
We hear in the news often about some unpleasant behaviours especially from those who should know better; those in positions of great power and great wealth. Yet we have now known in Liz a great person, who did at one time wield power as an important doctor in her field of expertise, yet a person who did not misuse that power but instead especially when we knew her, gathered many friends around her; and each treated with respect and even honour.
Some might say this is an old fashioned attitude and a vain hope in a world of impersonal AI, constant news and several wars, where love and mutual honour are seemingly far away. But we know different. We know that when we act by that love of Christ, we in some sense become that love. We have perhaps some examples in our own lives and today we honour Liz who herself did the very same.
Thanks be to God for Liz
The Internment
I forgot to mention, that I went to the interment of Liz’s coffin in a woodland burial site, next to her late husband. It was very beautiful and I know special for Liz. Aside from Whitney Houston singing “I will always love you”, as the coffin was carried out of the church, ( truly moving) it was the only part of Liz’s funeral that she herself organised.

I am truly sorry to hear of Miss Eagling’s passing and my deepest condolences to all.
I did my training as a Senior house officer and later Specialist Registrar in the West Midlands and as part of that spent a significant amount of time training at the then Selly Oak Hospital. I have worked on her team at various stages during my training.
Miss Eagling was a wonderful and inspiring Ophthalmologist. As a surgeon she could just as easily tackle anything from the front to the back of the eye with ease whilst humming her favourite songs . A rare and real talent Always smiling and always pleasant to all. She was one of my referees and supported my career all the way through.
She will be greatly missed as an icon in ophthalmology and someone who inspired me greatly. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

I am saddened to hear of Liz Eagling’s passing.
She was very kind to me and helped me greatly during my early career in Birmingham. She was very much liked by her patients and she contributed much to the development of the Ophthalmology service in Birmingham for her patients.
In our tradition, we say the following prayer for those who have departed this temporary world and move on to the permanent hereafter.
“From God do we originate and to Him is our ultimate return. May God forgive her sins, accept her good deeds and elevate her status in paradise. Ameen.
I knew nothing of her except good. “I am the President Elect of the Midland Ophthalmological Society and as one of my teachers and guides, I am forever indebted to her. Please pass on my condolences to her family.

I was saddened to hear of Liz’s passing.
I first met Liz when I started working as Senior Lecturer/Consultant at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital (BMEH) in January 1990. Never having trained in Birmingham I knew of her but had never previously met her. She had a great reputation and expertise in ocular trauma and had published several papers on the subject as well as a highly acclaimed book:
Eye Injuries: An Illustrated Guide by Elizabeth M. Eagling, M. J. Roper-Hall
Published: 30 Nov. 1986, Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd.
It had a very good review in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, “This book provides an excellent overview of a vast subject. It contains much valuable information and advice, drawn from the authors’ acknowledged wide experience, on the management of a wide range of ocular injuries. The book is well illustrated by 437 high-quality colour photographs and many additional explanatory line-drawings. The accompanying text is relatively brief and concentrates mainly on the practical aspects of management. As is perhaps unavoidable with such a large subject, the amount of information given on different topics varies widely. For instance, the first chapter would seem to have been written for medical students, whereas later chapters adequate information for specialist management. This is a highly practical volume, which should be at hand in every casualty department as well as being an extremely useful update for practising ophthalmologists.”
I took over Liz’s Thursday afternoon Theatre List and she was a tough act to follow, as she was extremely well liked and got on well with all the Theatre staff. For several years, I even used her specially designed operating chair that resembled a bicycle saddle. I’m not sure how she managed to keep comfortable for long surgical procedures, as I tended to go numb from the waist down after 20 minutes. Liz was an excellent retinal surgeon and a great person to ask for a second opinion as her ophthalmological knowledge was encyclopaedic. In 1996 BMEH closed, and we moved to the Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre, and she retired three years later. Initially the Eye Centre kept in touch with her, but then we lost contact. This was unfortunate as we would have loved for her to have been with us in December 2023 for our two-day meeting to mark the Eye Hospital’s 200th anniversary of its founding.

I am very sad to hear of the passing of Liz Eagling on 31 May 2025. I trained at Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital from 1974 to 1981. I worked with her as a registrar and senior registrar. She made sure that I was promoted to senior registrar post. She was interested in retinal detachment and trained me in that speciality. When I finished training and started looking for a consultant post she rewrote my application, got it printed and coached me in what to say when I eventually go for interview. She was my referee. That is the way I got my consultant post in Pilgrim Hospital Boston in Lincolnshire, UK. She was extremely kind to me and accepted my difficult retinal detachment patients, that I was not happy to do myself.
I will always be eternally grateful to her and will pray that God gives her the best place in next life.

I had no idea Liz was still alive after all these years. I wish I’d realised – I’d have looked her up for sure. When I was a kid she used to come to our house every Wednesday evening for a glass of sherry while speaking French with mum and dad! I used to trough all the peanuts mum would lay out! After her lung surgery I wrongly assumed her time was very limited. I’ll talk to my brother to recall some stories as he has a freakishly good memory … My brother was talking about her Alfa-Romeo he thinks it was – proper sports car – she took us for a ride in it as kids before her evening with mum and dad. She was such a lovely lady.

This was the picture a minute earlier before she beat me!😂

I first met Miss Eagling in 1988 when I applied for a locum SHO job at the old Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital.
She said “you will do ” and I got the job.
I was subsequently appointed to a substantive post and had the benefit of working with her over many years till I was appointed as a consultant myself.
In those days, junior doctors were terrified of consultants, but Liz was always firm and fair and approachable both as a boss and as an examiner for the College.
In addition, she was one of the only two female consultants at the time at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital ( the other was Erna Kritzinger).
In clinics she was quick and efficient and really cared about her patients.
In theatre she was a superstar.
Although her subspecialty interest was vitreo retinal surgery ( one of the few women worldwide to be doing this at the time), she could turn her hand to any type of ophthalmic surgery.
It was amazing to watch her in theatre. While gently humming a song (often the European singer Nana Mouskouri) she would take a shattered eyeball and put it back together perfectly, and as her assistant you would be left wondering how on Earth she just did what she did.
She truly had magic hands.
She was also an excellent teacher and of course we all had the book that she co-authored with Michael Roper Hall, “Eye Injuries, An Illustrated Guide.”
It was a privilege to know her and work with her.
She was a wonderful person and a truly great ophthalmologist.

So sorry to hear of Liz’s passing.
I did not know her well personally as I joined the team quite late on and also she was mainly at Selly Oak.
When I was in London – I knew of her great reputation as a trauma expert and was one the Birmingham’s rising stars. When I came to Birmingham, my over riding memory is of a colleague who was generous and fair – and at the time when the internal market appeared and we were pitched against each other this was no mean feat – she was clinical director (or similar) at that time. She dealt with the various factions with great skill and tact.

I got to know Liz when I joined BMEC as an SHO. She was a patient teacher, both in clinic and theatre. We ended up as neighbours and took in one of her cats who decided that he didn’t want to move to Cambridge when she retired.

I was sad to hear of the passing of Liz Eagling, who was a leading member of the old Eye Hospital in Church Street, and also of course, the MOS.
Liz headed up our Medical Staff Meetings when I arrived at BMEH in 1986 and as a junior consultant, I always found her very helpful and approachable. I was involved with Liz in a rather sad episode, where we inadvertently decimated the Eye Hospital Library.
In 1990 she suggested that I take over the role of Honorary Librarian at the Eye Hospital as she had held the post successfully for some years, and I was flattered to be asked, and hoped that I could carry on the good work, and secretly hoped that I would be given a rubber stamp like a proper librarian.
Soon afterwards, she mentioned that she had been contacted by the family of Philip Jameson Evans, a famous Eye Hospital Consultant (and former MOS President) who had passed away some years beforehand. His daughter was decluttering the old family home and wondered if the Eye Hospital Library would like to take his extensive collection of publications and old textbooks. Liz suggested that I go and see what was involved and I was therefore duly despatched to the old family home in Bromsgrove and returned with my Fiat 500 loaded with old books and ophthalmology ephemera.
Liz and I rather naively assumed that we could get some new cabinets to put them on display, as predating online resources, the library was still widely used by staff and students. However, it became obvious that many of the books were antiquarian – some dating back to the 17th and 18th Century- and we realised that we needed specialist advice from Birmingham University as it was obviously a valuable resource.
Two University librarians rapidly appeared, had a look at our small library and became very excited and announced that all the older books should be immediately removed to the University Library for conservation and storage in correct atmospheric conditions. Within a few days most of our older, interesting and valuable books, including the Jameson Evans Collection, had been removed and we were left with the remainder.
Thus my brief stint as Librarian resulted in the loss of most of our valuable old ophthalmology assets, and I never even got a rubber stamp!

Liz was an amazing surgeon and patient teacher. I first met her when I worked as her SHO at the old Birmingham & Midland Eye Hospital many years ago. She noticed that I was interested in trauma and took me under her wing – teaching me how to approach trauma surgery systematically. She scrubbed up when assisting me, and gently and patiently taught me elements of her massive clinical and surgical experience. Countless patients and surgeons have benefitted from her knowledge and generous teaching. Liz was a one-off – an incredibly special ophthalmic surgeon and fantastic role model for everyone.
Theodoros Potamitis
I was a junior doctor in BMEC in the 90s and worked for Liz as a SHO and registrar.
Saw my very first ever detachment with Liz one night on call and had her sit next to me on a few first time cases for me.
What stood out was how calm she was in theatre, so cool under pressure, such a good surgeon.
In later years when she became involved on the management side of things and the training programs, again her calmness, her ability to see problems from your point of view gave her the ability to win the respect from all who had dealings with her.
To this day however I have to say that my most vivid memory of her is humming Nana Mouskouri songs in theatre. No matter how difficult the case, she hummed away, and always Nana Mouskouri.
God rest her soul.

Liz was an exceptional lady who achieved various things during her illustrious career at a time when women were treated with inequality.
