A 101-year-old woman known as "pocket rocket" has died. She lived a colourful life in Leeds - known for her singing, surviving war, and her dedication to her community.
Anita Woolman, who lived in Sandmoor Chase in Moortown, Leeds, was said by many to have made a great impact on all those who met her. She died on Friday July 8.
Her life began in Leeds with parents Abraham and Fanny Steingberg, where she was raised as a proud Jew. She attended Roundhay High School in Old Park Road, and went on to study at the University of Leeds, gaining a degree in social sciences.
