In loving memory of Janet Wilson who sadly passed away on 2nd June 2026.
Known as Jan, but at least as often as Nanny or Nanny Janny
Wife to David since 29th July 1985, almost 41 years
Mother to Kevin and the late Fred
Biological grandmother to Stacey, Stephanie, Natasha and Amy and adoptive grandmother to Stuart and Danielle
Great-grandmother to Dionne, Cole, Jayden, Jessica, Isaiah and Robyn and, by extension, to Kate, Hunter and Harper
She had struggled with a number of medical conditions for some years. In the end, these conspired to take her from us. She had been in considerable pain for a while before passing, but fortunately it was not a long while.
She is now free of pain and at peace.
She will be missed.

There were people who entered a room,
and somehow the whole world softened.
The air felt lighter,
laughter came easier,
and hearts felt a little more at home.
She was one of those rare souls.
Beautiful, not only in face,
but in spirit, in kindness, in grace,
in the way she made others feel seen,
heard, welcomed, cherished.
She treated us like family,
with open arms and an open heart,
giving so freely of her time,
her warmth, her generosity,
never asking for anything in return.
Her kindness was constant,
not loud or boastful,
but steady and true,
woven into every word,
every smile, every thoughtful gesture.
Talking with her felt easy,
like sitting in sunlight on a winter morning,
comforting and bright.
She had a way of making ordinary moments
feel golden.
And the way she lived...
with joy, with courage, with spirit,
embracing life fully,
collecting memories instead of regrets,
finding reasons to laugh, to love, to celebrate.
She reminded us what friendship could be.
A gift.
A blessing.
A rare kind of magic.
She was the best friend anyone could have wished for,
the kind of person hearts held onto.
Thank you for being you,
for your beauty, your warmth, your endless care.
The world was brighter because you were in it,
and we will always be grateful
to have called you our friend.

Here are some photos of our times with Jan in the UK and Canada. Jan & Dave were our Chaperons on our first date and were the ones that taught Ian to play canasta. Over the years we visited many places with them and had several almost all night canasta games with a ‘Few’ Drinks and some good food!!!! Good memories……

Before Dave went to Oz. No doubt Jan missed him. What a great sister; the world has lost a wonderful human being
Typical Nan 🥹😆💜

I have a few coming! Nan happy in Spain - when she found out about Mexican trains!
I had bought this a while ago, and completely forgot to bring it . Dionne found it whilst sorting out the other day, soo very true. Love you Nan xxxxx
We were young once
I don't know when or where it was, or even who the 2 kids in the cab are. Could be Dionne and Cole, and possibly at Gullivers Land. Feel free to comment to prvide the details.
