Liked to travel - and visited Vancouver, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New Zealand in her retirement. Also liked Labradors, a G&T, or a white wine. A lieflong smoker, she had to give up in 1995 following a stroke. Jean made a good recovery, but suffered further ill-health, with minor strokes and a perforated intestine in 2003 and 2005. After Don's death, lived alone at 10 Newling Way, High Salvington, Worthing with her eldest son Philip as her carer.
