Quite simply the best nanny anyone could wish for. You made my childhood special and I certainly wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for you and Grandad. Thank you for everything.
Freya, who's middle name is Josie named after you of course will always be reminded how special you were.
Love you always,
Charles, Elishea, Freya and Tilly xx

Josephine Ann Long
Fell asleep 19/1/2026 aged 84years
Finally reunited with her beloved husband Barry
We have spent many happy events over the last 40 years , too many to mention .
A few beverages have passed our lips ( this is how you got the name “Mrs Wembley “ , she was in a sit com on the BBC “On the up “ & when asked if she wanted a drink her reply was always “just the one “ )
Your love of Christmas Jumpers will never be forgotten even wearing them in February , when I wear mine now I will always think of you .
You always had a smile on your face & a tale to tell
I’m going to miss this the most
Sleep tight beautiful lady
Keep watching from above
With love
Dawn, Ken , Gareth , Ryan & Harry

We have been joined as “In Laws “ for over 40years
I had the privilege of not only being your friend , we were work colleagues too.
I will miss our daily catch ups where we would put the worlds to rights or our version of it
Many a cuppa & toasted tea cake taken at the kitchen table
Finally reunited with her Husband Barry
Sleep tight dear friend

To our lovely Auntie Nip,
Sharing our treasured happy memories of you for the love of coffee & a cigarette in hand. Your love of Meatloaf. The wonderful happy holidays in Great Yarmouth, France & you having your first ever passport to travel abroad. The photo you always carried close to heart in the inside of your bra of Uncle Barry. We will always keep you close in our hearts remembering the happy times. With love Kim, Don & Family

My beautiful twin sister ( Nip) as we called her. She being the smaller one at birth as our dad named her Nipper.
She was my first friend as twins growing up, my life long companion, and someone who knew me in ways no one else could as twins.
From our childhood days to our adult life she was woven into every chapter of my life.
Remembering our long Sunday morning calls to each other & special holidays together in the later years in France & Weymouth which she loved. She had a smile & a laugh that could light up a room and a heart of gold.
We treasure the memories. You will always be in our heart & never be forgotten. I still can’t believe you have gone.
With all love Jackie & Terry xxx

Josie, I hope you are happy now you have been reunited with Barry
and are together forever, happy and holding hands.
I never met you but I feel I know you. Terri and Dawn told me of all the happy times and things you all done. And what a lovely lady you
were.
Paul and Terri will miss you forever but they know you are happy and with Barry. And they know its not goodbye but see you again.

It’s hard to put into words how much you meant to me and how much you’ll be missed, you were not just my Nanny but a second Mum to me, someone who loved her family deeply, listened without judgement and was always there when we needed you most.
I will always treasure the memories I have of you and I will make sure Neve and Harry growing up hearing all about their Great-Nanny.
I’ll miss you always and will forever be comforted in knowing you’re back with Grandad.
With all our love,
Lou, Phil, Neve and Harry xxxx
