An advocate for women’s and girls’ golf, Jean was always available to support our County. Once we unified, Jean held the role of Clubs Director, until recently.

Jean was admired and respected. As well as her work with Cheshire Golf, she was involved with the Territorial Army and served on the front line in the War Zone in Bosnia. Jean enjoyed orienteering and was captain of Upton by Chester Golf Club in 2003.

Jean gave so much of her life to Cheshire Golf. A very kind person and who will be missed by so many.
