Brenda Jago, nee Witts, was born in Honicknowle to Frank and Margaret on 24th July 1943: she had one younger brother (Barry whom passed away during 2008.) They all moved to Cornwall during the late 1950's, and it is here that Brenda went to school. She was to find work at the old Woolworth's store in Devonport, where she worked on the sweet counter, and this is where she met the love of her life - Tom: they married on 19th April 1962, then shortly after the three girls Susan, Angela and Helen came along. By that time they were living at 5a Cannon Street where they all grew up (very happy times.)
Brenda also has four grand-daughters, Kayleigh, Jessie, Megan and Emily: grandsons Ben and Riley and Kayleigh's partner Sean, one niece Karen and two great grandsons, Shay and Drake. - all she loved and adored very much. She also has three son-in-laws Don, Philip and David, who she though a lot of. Brenda had forty-nine happy years together, when in March 2011, Tom suddenly passed away, just a month before their fiftieth Wedding Anniversary - Brenda struggled without him, missing him every day - she was never the same thereafter.
The girls would like to thank Jeanie, Audrey and Maggie for getting her to go on holiday with them - she did have a good laugh with you all! (especially in Malta where she visited Tom's old haunts.)
They also want to thank Brenda's next-door neighbour, Marilyn for all the things she did for her - it is much appreciated.
Brenda also ran the Armada Playgroup and worked at Sainsbury's for some fifteen years. She will be missed by all her family and friends, we take comfort that she is at peace now - and re-united with Dad at last.
I had a P.S. we also forgot to mention that Mum was a very keen cook and her pasties were legendary.
There are many other aspects of Brenda's life we can only touch on now, the trips to town or Looe with "the girls," time spent at Devonport Park, the family Christmases, the cooking with the grandchildren and her skills with the computer, or visits to "The Steam Packet" and you can share these after the service because you are all invited to `the Stonehouse Creek social Club.
