Body Shop Founder Dies
 Anita Roddick guarded Body Shop's ethical valuesFounder of the Body Shop, Dame Anita Roddick, has died at the age of 64. Her family said in a statement she suffered "a major brain haemorrhage" at 1830 BST at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex. Her husband, Gordon, and daughters Sam and Justine were all with her, the statement added. Dame Anita set up the first Body Shop in Brighton in 1976. In February she announced she had contracted Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion in 1971. The family's statement said: "Gordon, Justine and Sam Roddick are very sad to announce that, after suffering a major brain haemorrhage, Anita Roddick died at 6.30pm this evening at the age of 64.

Re: Body Shop Founder Dies
She pioneered social conscience and ethics not just her own company, but those that chose to follow.
A great example of a capitalist that made a real difference.

Re: Body Shop Founder Dies
I've never liked Body Shop as it made me sneeze but I did admire her for the work she did for the environment.
Bless her x

Re: Body Shop Founder Dies
A sad loss, my sympathies to her family. This lady was a rare example of what can be achieved by belief and faith, especially in ones self and ones moral objectives. God rest you.
