This morning I had a text from the son of Jen (I’m not sure what her GN name was) to say she had died early this morning after a brief stay in hospital.

You may remember her from the advice she gave on alternative medicine.

She had a love of cats and said that when her time came her son would look after her small cat.

RIP Jen 💐

Oh I'm so sorry to read this. I knew Sparklefizz as an avid contributor to the 50 books thread. She did mention some health issues. I shall miss her presence.

RIP Sparklefizz condolences to her family if they're able to access GN flowers

Her granddaughter lived abroad and was married with a small baby.

This is such sad news. We used to share PMs at one time and she had a number of illnesses.
Yes, indeed she always started the Strictly dancing threads- she absutely loved the dancing, and her cats so much.

A brave lady who bore with severe ME for many years. RIP brave Jen.

Just spoken to Simon, Jen’s son, and sent condolences from all of us on Gransnet, he was very touched by that.
