Joan Myfanwy West (4 Nov 1928 - 1 Dec 2020)

I don’t have any childhood memories of being with my so called parents only my gran ❤️ I will love her always and forever !. I always remember gran and auntie dolly trying to teach me Welsh (didn’t go well for me) Tonya grans gsd who would NOT let grandad go near gran .. sooo funny !. When my gran told me to go play with granddads razor (so I did) I still bear the scar on my finger !! The many baths I took in grans sink it was so cold sitting on a metal draining board even with a tea towel ❤️ The organ gran had in the front room that I used to play (got quite good lol ) the fact gran used to check I had washed behind my tabs ! I used to love going to work with gran when she used to be a cleaner in vic centre she used to take me down underneath I felt well special 😇 . The one thing about my gran was that she was always there no matter what for 45 years of my life she has always been there wether I saw her rang her or not I just felt at ease knowing she was there, now there is just an empty space a hole left by such a strong stern character and I’m sure I spent most of my childhood being a pain in her backside and sometimes could have throttled me but gran I love you soooo much and I will miss you more than you will ever know ❤️💔💔xxxxxxxxx

For those who can't attend the funeral there will be a link I can email to you so you watch the service as it happens. Please get in touch asap with your email address so I can send you the link. Its really simple to use but all we ask is that you make sure that your camera and mic are muted through out the service. This won't affect you seeing the service but will stop us having any interuptions. Many thanks.

I have so many memories of gran even when she drove me absolutely crackers and up the wall she still had me in stitches. From wondering off and telling Morrisons staff I'd abandoned her there, to farm trips and her feeding the animals and telling them all to 'pee off'. She was a tough nut that wouldn't stand for any crap but would have you rolling around at the crazy things she'd do! I'll always have a fully stocked goodie cupboard thanks to her ❤️

Such a lovely lady always a smile and laugh whenever i saw her
