Jennifer passed away peacefully at home on 7 November 2022. She was beloved aunt, great aunt and great-great aunt. She joined the Newbury Symphony Orchestra in 1966 as a violinist. She came from a musical family, one of five children who regularly played chamber music together at home with their father. She studied violin at Downe House and later taught the violin to young pupils. She also had a fine singing voice.  

In her earlier life, she had an antiques shop in Walton Street, South Kensington and was in constant demand for her skills in porcelain restoration and china mending.  

During the Second World War she was in the WRENS posted to Portsmouth, Liverpool and London and she was awarded two medals for her contribution to the war effort. Her personal elegance reflected in aesthetic talent, including her eye for colour, her needlework skills, her gift for understanding pattern, her ability as a painter and the placement of objects d’art, rugs, flowers and paintings. 

Jennifer had a wonderful sense of humour. She was a perfectionist in every aspect of her life, always striving ‘to do her utter’! 

Jennifer was a popular and respected member of her local community. 

Our thanks to her family for sharing this obituary with us.
