Jenny was very well known in the area and enjoyed socialising at local social clubs, especially Sydney Street WMC.

She also enjoyed bingo and dancing and was always the first on the dance floor at family parties.

A celebration of Jenny’s life will take place on Monday, August 13 at 12.20pm at Accrington Crematorium followed by a cremation officiated by David Ireland.
