Jan Walsh

UPDATE (21/03/2020): In light of the escalating health crisis, travel restrictions and government guidelines, the family has had to accept that we are currently unable to give Jan the send-off that she deserves. We have no choice but to postpone the service and reception indefinitely, until the pandemic is over. However, Mum wished to be buried and we are required to go-ahead with this now. We are forced to limit in-person attendence to immediate family who are not in quarantine. We have chosen a beautiful woodland spot at Brookwood cemetery near Woking Surrey and will be streaming the burial online so that anyone who wishes to attend remotely will be able to do so. A recording will also be made available for download after the event. More details, including date and time, will be shared shortly. Please note that the burial will be a simple and dignified occasion. The full celebration of Jan's life will come later. Thank you for your understanding, love and support.

UPDATE (15/03/2020): We are still unable to finalise a date for the funeral and so the week of March 23rd is now looking less likely. We are also monitoring the coronavirus situation closely and will provide further updates as soon as we can.

UPDATE (25/02/2020): Jan is flying from Dubai to London Heathrow on Emirates flight EK7 on February 27th. The funeral date cannot be finalised yet due to legal procedure but is provisionally being planned for the week of March 23rd.

Janet Rosalind Walsh, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed peacefully on February 16th 2020, in Dubai UAE, at the age of 72.

Jan will be buried near her beloved home in West Byfleet, Surrey UK. Arrangements are currently underway and details of her funeral, burial and reception will be posted here as they are finalised. Once posted, please RSVP (on the 'Events' link above) to help the family with numbers.

Jan had a great love of animals; dogs and donkeys, in particular. Instead of sending flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to 'The Donkey Sanctuary' who help donkeys all around the world. Those attending her funeral will have an opportunity to make a donation on the day. Alternatively, you can make a donation online by selecting the 'In Memoriam Donation' link below.
