What a lovely lady, she will be missed so much. I have so many memories of her, her wicked sense of humour, mischievous laugh and laid back view of the world. I'm glad Jan is now at peace. Sending much love to Jane and family. x

Such sad news and thoughts are with you. Jan had such a great sense of humour and I fondly remember sharing an afternoon (or two!) at Crown bingo, always with her fabulous smile x

So many great memories over the years to remember your amazing dear mum. Her fabulous spirit, sense of humour, independence and honesty.
Sunday evenings at the trades club were always such good fun with so much laughter. But more recently when we met being told my visiting time was up, will always make me smile.

This was Mum on her birthday, maybe 2018. Den and I had taken her to Southsea Beach Cafe for lunch. We couldn't stop laughing as both Mum and I had worn striped tops and looked liked we both worked there!  It was a lovely day xx
