Jane’s devastated family released a heartbreaking tribute to her through Cheshire Police on Wednesday, November 22.
They said: “Jane was fun loving and highly sociable and lived her life to the fullest. A devoted wife to John, and loving mother to Olivia and Patrick, daughter to Jean & Derek and sister to Tracy.
"She was very well known and loved across the community of Upton and the Chester area. She had worked in the fitness industry locally for 35 years and based her Fitness & Pilates business here.
"Jane was also involved in many other community-based groups like Scouts, School, and WI. She always gave more to these organisations than she took out. Her family and wide circle of friends are devastated by her tragic loss.”
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire police on 101 quoting IML 1684100.
