Lady JOAN BADER OBE (17 March 1918 – 18 December 2015)
The pair first met playing golf in the 1960’s and were friends for years before they married; Joan she became Lady Bader when Sir Douglas received his Knighthood in 1976. After Douglas Bader’s death in 1982, Joan established the Bader Foundation in his name to help people who had lost limbs to rebuild their lives.
