In loving memory of Janet Elizabeth Haffegee who sadly passed away on 21st January 2021.
Everyone will have their own personal memories and experiences of Janet and her qualities.
To me she was intelligent, beautiful, friendly, selfless and very kind – she was a joy.
The last few weeks have exposed her character. I’m so proud of her, the way she faced the situation she’s been in, brave as anything, and so incredibly strong when facing her illness.
She was my much-loved wife, a mother, daughter, sister, auntie and friend.
She has left us all far too soon – but in doing so, has left us with so many fond and happy memories.
Janet's work colleagues have created a remembrance book for those who worked with her at York University - link below.
https://rememberancebook.net/book/janet-haffegee/
Her funeral will be held at York Crematorium, 11.40am, Wednesday 17 February, Because of covid restrictions, we are limited to 18 funeral-goers. There will be a live stream of the ceremony available for anyone unable to attend. Please contact me if you require the link.
We are aiming to celebrate Janet’s life properly, once covid restrictions are no longer an issue, and when we can all get together again.
We have requested close family flowers only. If you would like to donate, Cancer Research UK would be Janet’s, and our, chosen charity.
