To Jenny’s family – please accept my deepest condolences at this sad time. I am so sorry for your loss.  I first met Jenny in 2001/2002 when I was a student social worker at The Heights. She then became a work colleague when I first started working for Greenwich in 2003. I always admired Jenny’s sharp mind and her ability to always present her views in such a measured and educated way. Her presentation skills were second to none and she held true social work values at her core – always advocating for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society. Then in 2006, I remember going out with Jenny on some Mental Health Act assessments and just learning so much from her. She was very kind and supportive as she took me under her wing and I’ll never forget her trying to ease my nerves before an assessment by turning up Labi Siffre’s Something Inside So Strong, blasting it out and singing along – her tactics worked! Whilst we were always friendly as colleagues, it wasn’t until some years later when Jenny and I were on a 5 day AMHP refresher training that I really started to get to …

Dear Jennys loved ones,   Please accept my deepest condolences to you all.   I first met Jenny whilst working in the AMHP team in Greenwich. Fond memories I have, many of which included Jenny coming into the office singing and dancing with her headphones on, something that would make me smile first thing in the morning, she really lit up the room with her presence. Her smile and her laugh which were so infectious.   We shared many cherished talks of her family who she loved so dearly and her “Grandbabies” who she absolutely adored, was so proud of and wouldn’t go a day without speaking about, she loved them so much.   It’s really hard to write this knowing she has been taken away so soon, I am truly devastated.   I will always remember Jenny as a kind-hearted, bubbly and cheerful character. The lovely memories and talks we shared will stay with me forever.   Rest in perfect peace Jenny xxx …

      Dearest Jennys family and friends my thoughts are with you all at this time. I was fortunate to be able to call Jenny a friend and I loved Jenny Dearly. I met her four and half years ago when I joined the trust as a Lived Experience Practitioner , as someone in an open Lived Experience of Mental Health role , I was captivated by Jennys genuine persona ,  a truly amazing lady who managed that subtle balance a knowledgeable respected professional with a client focussed relatability that was unique to her.    Jenny , one of the most service user centred people I have ever had the pleasure to work with….. I always said to everyone if ever unwell or in crisis please call Jenny as a professional I want her with me please. Who would not want Jenny as AMP! WOW.   She gave joy to us all with her contagious laugh and sparkling smile . My last memory was her cooking up a storm in her kitchen in fabulous clothes while to mw on video call and how we laughed…I will hold this memory dear.     Jenny was beautiful in every way …

My Dearest Cousin Jenny. I am struggling to write this message, words cannot express how I am feeling. I remember the first time I saw your name on an email at work thinking that’s my cousin!!  I was so excited to learn we were working for the same trust.  I know how passionate you were with helping others. I loved your integrity, your personality was infectious. I always felt the joy you expressed about our family, but expecially your children and grandchildren!  When we met at family functions, we always had a great time. The family will surely miss all the laughter and joy you brought to all. God has called you home, my dear cousin, for us it is much too soon. Deep in my heart I know you are still here with us, as your light is an eternal light that will keep on shining. Rest in eternal peace my dear, forever in our hearts. Laura …

I first met Jenny around a decade ago and then a couple of years later we became neighbours on the first floor at Memorial Hospital. We would chat on the corridor often while waiting to use the kitchen and I would lend her my office from time to time when she needed a space to concentrate. As others have said, she was a lovely warm person and it always a pleasure to see her. This is incredibly sad news – I was very shocked to learn of her passing. It feels as if a fundamental part of our service in Greenwich is missing. My condolences and very best wishes to her family, friends and colleagues. …

I have known Jenny as a colleague for so many years and we first worked together in residential care. Over the years whenever our paths crossed Jenny would always make time for a chat. We would speak about our families and her love and pride in her children and then grandchildren was so lovely to hear. Jenny had a wonderful smile and truly infectious laugh. She was a big personality and you always knew when she was around. I am so saddened by the tragic loss of Jenny and my deepest sympathies go out to her family. …

Dear Jenny, my friend. I loved and will miss our conversations about our growing families and our mutual passion for our profession. You loved your family so much, each and every one of them and I know they loved you. You were a natural communicator and mentor and your wisdom will live on in us all. I will remember you for your humour, your joy, your care and compassion and your loyalty. Rest in perfect peace Jenny.  …

What can I say about our Jenny? Jenny was not only a work colleague, but a friend in and out of Oxleas for many years. Her big personality, and love of the finer things, kept you laughing all day long. Her compassion for others, her love of her family and her loyalty to her friends is something I will always remember. My daughter will miss her auntie Jenny’s chocolate cakes, and the encouragement she received whenever she saw her auntie Jenny. My condolences to Jenny’s family, she loved you so much and spoke about you all the time.  So Jen, thank you for being a wonderful friend, I smile everytime I think of you and the things we went through together. My heart breaks knowing my friend has been taken so soon.  …

I first met Jenny decades ago in her role as Mental Health Support Worker.  I remember thinking that Jenny held so much knowledge, not only about the service users she worked with, but she could tell you about their family, community, characteristics, culture and sometimes their aspirations.  As the years progressed when I met Jenny she spoke more about her boys and faith and much later her grand babies.  I remember her laughter, stories she would share about her travel, food, family, culture and so much more.  I called her the Thespian, because she had the ability to captivate the interest of other professionals and people around her.  This was evident in her future teaching and learning in social work.  After completing her social work training Jenny continued to develop her Social Work practice, as a Practice Educator and Assessor for student and newly qualified social workers.  Jenny later went on to lead the very first student hub in Greenwich, in partnership with Greenwich and Goldsmith’s Universities.  As long as I can remember Jenny was always interested in development and put herself forward for initiatives, projects, presentations and panels.  In more recent years Jenny developed expertise and passion in …
