In loving memory of Jean Mary Alice Garrod who sadly passed away on 29th January 2026 - I know this is a sad day but let’s celebrate Mum for who she was. Our mum, dependable, loyal and loving. A Nan, a sister-in-law, an Aunty and a true friend.

Mum didn't ask for much but did express a wish that we wear a tribute of pink at her service. We would also ask that rather than spending money on flowers, a donation is made to Parkinson's UK, a charity which was close to Mum's heart. A link is provided for any donations you would like to make.

Your attendance at Mum's service means so much to us.

Thank you from all of mum's family.

Kate Glover donated £50 in memory of Jean

In memory of a wonderful and kind lady, with love to all her family. Kate xx

Miss you always, love you forever. Thank you for all of your advice, your full English breakfasts and your insistence to pay for absolutely everything! It still seems strange I can’t just pop round and talk to you. Say hello to grandad and Pete. Sleep tight xx

To my loveliest Jean, you were literally like family to me. I cared for you for many years. It still feels weird you’re not here to share with you all my stories and have a laugh and joke with you. I think about you always. Miss you so much xxxxxx

I didn’t know Jean for very long, but in the time I did she truly inspired me. She was always so kind, patient and had an amazing sense of humour. It was a privilege to care for her and it’s clear how deeply loved she was. Thinking of everyone who knew and loved Jean💕💕
