She had a brilliant sense of humour, loved her fashion, fake nails, and fake tan, and always made people smile.
Her story
She had a brilliant sense of humour, loved her fashion, fake nails, and fake tan, and always made people smile.
Glammed up even in later life.
Our Nana was bright, bubbly, hilarious, and impossible not to love. She had the kind of sense of humour that could make everyone smile, and her brilliant sarcasm often had the whole family howling with laughter. She loved her fashion, her fake tan, her fake nails, and always had her own unmistakable sparkle. She was full of personality, warmth, and fun. More than anything, she loved her family. Her children, Tom and Joanne, meant the world to her, as did her grandchildren Philip, Christopher, Ashleigh, and Leah. She also adored her beautiful great-granddaughter, Indie, who brought her so much joy. She loved her husband Jimmy so, so much, and it brings comfort to know they are now reunited. She was loved deeply, remembered always, and will forever be missed.
Her life was built around family, laughter, generosity and small acts of love. She remembered birthdays, kept photographs, saved little keepsakes, and told stories that made everyone feel part of something bigger.
Though she is deeply missed, the love she gave continues in the people who knew her. This space is here to preserve her voice, her smile, her memories and the legacy she leaves behind.
