Jan Richardson OBE

Published on 06/11/2020

Jan Richardson OBE 14th May 1948 to 29th October 2020 Our dearly loved Jan passed away 29th October following a short and sudden illness at Colchester Hospital with her family by her side. Jan was a caring, intelligent, philanthropic woman, whose very existence was to help make life better for others. She was a truly exceptional stepmother, amazing grandmother, much loved friend and a very dear work colleague. Amongst her charitable roles, Jan cherished her time at St Helena Hospice, she volunteered for RAD (Royal Association for Deaf people), she was a Vice Chair of Millfields School Governors, and she also invested much time and energy into Helping Hands and the Wivenhoe Housing Trust, to name but a few. Her family and the wider community can only be thankful to have had such a wonderful and kind person touch their lives. There will be a closed private ceremony on Thursday 19th November at 15:30. While this is a private event, please do light a candle, say a prayer or even raise a glass to celebrate Jan's wonderful life at this time. Details of donations will be published at a later date. Please email sarahharehouse@yahoo.co.uk if you wish to pass on messages to family and friends.
