Dedicated  to Jane .

The wonderful wife of Duncan, mother of Alison and Thomas  very proud grandmother  to Serena & Flynn not forgetting Son in Law Mark Titchener.

Jane died on 26th  November 2022. Duncan was by her side as she went to sleep. 

Jane was born in Redruth in 1956 to parents  Ken and Margaret Evans  the youngest of four Children  (David, Alan and Marlene )

Jane was very  proud  of her Cornish heritage  although there was a touch of Welsh blood  in there too.

Jane spent  her formative years in and around  Redruth going  to Treleigh Primary School where she passed her 11+ and  went  on to Camborne County Grammar  School  and from there on to Weymouth for Teacher Training. Jane returned to Cornwall to teach at Treleigh Primary before  going  onto become  a House mistress at Godolphin School in Salisbury. 

It was here Jane met Duncan  they married in Cornwall 1985. One week later they moved to West Germany  where they lived for seven  happy years  and where Alison  and Thomas were born.

In 1992 the family  moved back to England, first Exeter  before finally  settling in Ivybridge.

Jane taught  in both Germany and the UK and worked in retail  before spending  many years at Ivybridge  Community College as TA, Mentor and finally  as a LRA or  we what we would  call Librarian. 

Jane had many hobbies gardening, sewing, cross-stitch, embroidery and reading. 

Jane and Duncan often returned  to their  home from  home (Germany) mainly Berlin  and enjoyed many trips to European  cities  but  a promise made  by Duncan took 32 years to fulfil was their  visit to Canada where they flew to Vancouver and drove cross country to Calgary and was undoubtedly Jane's Favourite trip, but she did enjoy New York.

Jane loved life & meeting people,  she was never  happier than when she was on a beach especially in her beloved Kernow.

She loved  her garden and was very proud  of what she had achieved .

But her biggest  source  of love and pride was her family not just the four of us but our ever expanding extended family. 

No words can express  our feeling of loss  but we are all so lucky  to have  had her in our lives.
