We will miss Jean, a wonderful neighbour .
So genuinely kind , welcoming and friendly , sharp as a tack and actually very funny, we often met on our dog walks. Jean knew everything that was going on in the world, could talk about anything .
Jean baked me apple crumble many times simply because she knew I loved it.
Our deepest sympathy to the family,

I will miss Jean, she was a lovely neighbour. Always friendly with a smile and a positive outlook.
I admired her for her wisdom and her practical, independent approach to life.
I know she will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her.
Your energy will continue, Jean.

Our deepest sympathy to Aunt Jean’s family. We will truly miss her at our monthly breakfasts at Harry’s restaurant which we have had since Covid was over. She was always so upbeat and so knowledgeable as to what was going on in everyone’s lives. She will be missed by us all.
