Jean Anne King, aged 69, loving mother of three, nan of eight, great nan of five, and adoring wife of husband Terry, passed away surrounded by her family on the 18th of October after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer in June 2022, and was receiving immunotherapy, but unfortunately this was not able to keep her with us any longer.
Jean was born on the 4th of July 1953 in Coventry to parents Jean and Richard. She grew up with four brothers and a loving family. Jean moved to Bude with Terry in 1994 and thoroughly enjoyed her 28 years here, surrounded by their children and grandchildren.
Jean was a loving, caring and admirable woman, who always did everything that she could for others, this was taken forward into motherhood as her and Terry raised Sharon, Angela and Terry. As a mum, Jean was generous, compassionate and thoughtful, with complete admiration for her children. Jean and Terry made precious memories with their children in Mablethorpe where they would visit the beach, the donkeys and the arcades. Jean was thrilled with each new addition to the family and would love the opportunity to spoil each grandchild. She had nicknames for her grandchildren, e.g., Cameron was her “handsome little soldier” and Jasmine was her “Mother Hen”.
Jean took pride in the garden that she created with Terry. She filled her garden with various beautiful flowers and plants, with lilies being her favourite. She also loved to see the birds that regularly frequented it. This garden was a special place for her during her final few months.
Jean will be greatly missed by her family who adored her with their whole being, she was a constant in their lives and they will struggle to adapt to a life without her in it.
“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.” – Helen Keller
A Cremation Service to say a final goodbye to Jean will be held at Glynn Valley Crematorium, Turfdown Road, Fletchersbridge, Bodmin PL30 4AP. On the 2nd November at 13:30pm.
A celebration of Jean’s life will follow at Kerenza Hotel, Flexbury Ave, Bude Cornwall EX23 8RE.
Guests should arrive to Kerenza for 4.30pm - it is a fundraising event so any donations would be welcome.
In Jean’s memory, donations may be given for Cancer Research and/or the RSPB, to help others in their battle with cancer and to protect the wildlife that Jean loved so much.

Words will never describe how we all feel, words will never be able to say how much you meant to all of us. We will all look after grandad and tell our little children all about you as they get older and share our wonderful memories.
Until we see each other again, always in our hearts. I love you

Such a kind woman, you had a big heart and were always thinking of others even when you had troubles of your own. I will miss seeing you and comparing birds we have coming into the garden, and hearing all about your family. You were always so proud of each and every one. Rest easy Jean, you made the world a better place by being in it.

Jean. Beautiful Jean.
I knew you for nearly 13 years, since I first met Lauren and you welcomed me in to your family like I was part of it.
You had a special heart, a beautiful smile and
I am so grateful for the time I spent with you.
I already miss your messages, they always brightened my day, but
I will see you again one day for a cup of tea,
Lots of love Pauline xxx

I'm not one to put it into words... though we had many chats and you know exactly how I felt...
Love doesn't express what you meant to me... They talk about soul mates...
nan...you had a big piece of my heart...
Holding onto your memories will be forever lasting and I'll continue to be there for grandad as I was with you. Peace 🙏❤️⭐

Mum. The hardest thing i am ever going to have to do as the oldest child. We watched as you battled with the horrible life changing disease. But you were so brave and courageous through numerous operations. Dad,myself,Carl and Terry waited each time for you to come out of theatre so we were there when you woke up preparing ourselves to help you through. But you never gave up and fought to the end. I gave you Daniel, Devon and Emilio who love you so much. Then they gave you 5 great grandchildren between them who you adored. The hardest thing is you wont see Emilio and ellies baby when born but i know you will be watching over them and keeping them safe.We will look after dad for you. We love you Mum and someday i will walk into your arms again.
Sharon and Carl

Auntie Jean, I fondly remember coming to your house and having so many happy times. Going in holiday with you all to Maplethorpe. I remember when we got up in the morning and you made us all toast only to find out you had no butter so we tried lard instead well none of us ate any of it. You packed us in the car and uncle Terry drove us to maplethorpe for our holiday. You where so brave and never let the cancer take over you. I hope you are catching up with your mum and mine. Until we meet again xxxxxxxx
