Jean Clarke of Spring Hall, Clayton-Le-Moors, died suddenly in the Royal Blackburn Hospital after an illness, bravely fought on Friday 1^st January, 2016, aged 76 years.

During her life Jean worked in an assortment of job roles from a telephone receptionist to a manageress at Collins Trademarket.  She was also a small business owner and owned and ran her own sweet shop “The Victoria Sweet Shop” which was known to many.
