Sadly my Nan lost her fight to Heart Disease on the 29th Dec 20.  She was the kindest person you would have ever liked to meet.  She had a great life and was a major part of my families life.  Reaching the grand age of 84 up until a couple of years ago she was fighting fit, given a new lease of life after recieving a new Heart Valve in her 70's she was the life and sole of the family circle.

Sadly the Heart Failure started to take hold in 2019 and she spent most of the year in and out of York, Selby Hospitals, which had its up and downs.  The worst of this was Dec 2019  when she suffered a suspected Heart attack in hospital, it was heart breaking to see my Nan reduced to not been strong enough to eat or talk in York, spending a long time by her side at York thinking the worst.  

But in true Supernan fashion she battled through and managed to pull through, with the work of the team at York her medication was balanced out and she got some independence back and my Mum and Dad made the decsion to down size to a Bungalow and move my Nan in with them and my Mum act as her carer.  She was determined to keep going and managed to get mobile again using a frame she built upon the strength and confidence to have a daily walk round the estate to keep active

Then Covid came in 2020 but in the true War Generation fashion she cracked on and kept active.  

Sadly in Dec 20 signs that she was deteriating was starting to show, putting on a brave face and determined not to miss Christmas she ploughed on, but was clearly very unwell,  struggling to move and out of breath moving short distences, tell tail signs the medication for her heart was struggling.  We were all hoping it would be able to be made more comfortable by rebalancing the medication via specialist advice from the heart ward in York. But unfortunately the disease had come to its natural end and my Nan sadly passed away in her sleep peacefully on the 29th Dec 20.  The only saving grace is she is out of pain and now at peace.

The point of this page is to try and raise some funds towards future research for Heart Disease but the British Heart Foundation. All funds will go direct to the British Heart Foundation.

This has been created in preparation for my Nan's Funeral on the 20th Jan 2021 at Selby Abbey, before been laid to rest with her soul mate my Grandad.
