Mary Fairbrother

Mary Fairbrother was the widow of Barry Fairbrother. She was upset about his death, but also felt that he didn't pay enough attention to her and was bothered by the fact that he spent his last day (and their anniversary) writing an article about Krystal Weedon.

Gavin Hughes fell in love with her after her husband's death.

Mary had a sister who lived in Liverpool. Gavin was surprised to learn that Mary was thinking of leaving Pagford. (422)
