The Family Jean Leaves Behind
Adored Partner of Ivor
Jean was the adored partner of Ivor, a word chosen with great care by a family who clearly wanted the world to know exactly what their relationship meant. Adored. Not simply loved, but treasured and held in the highest regard.
Their partnership was clearly the central relationship of Jean’s later life, and Ivor’s loss is one those who knew them will feel alongside him with genuine compassion.
Much-Loved Mum of David and Jonathan
Jean was the much-loved Mum of David and Jonathan, two sons she raised with the devotion that defined her. She was also, in another chapter of her life, the ex-wife of the late Lyndon, a part of her story that her family has acknowledged openly and honestly in the tribute they have written.
For David and Jonathan, the loss of their mother is a grief that sits at the very core of who they are. She was their Mum and no other word covers that fully.
Devoted Grandma of Five
Jean was the devoted Grandma of Ieuan, Ethan, Indiana, Chloe, and Dan, five grandchildren whose lives she shaped simply by being in them. Each of them carries something of Jean forward: a memory, a habit, a turn of phrase, or simply the deep, settled feeling of having been loved by someone who meant it completely.
