Jenny sadly passed
away in the early hours of Monday 26th January 2009
after a brave battle with cancer.
Jenny has been an integral part of the band
since 1995, from its earlier days as the Glynde and Beddingham
Band, to its present day as LGB Brass. Jenny played Flugel with
the band, moving from Solo Horn in 2007.
Known universally in the band as ‘mother’,
Jenny cared for everyone, young and old, good player and not so
good. She encouraged and helped all she came into contact with.
Jenny has played and depped with many local
bands and was well known and liked by all who met her.
Jenny leaves behind her husband Tony (Solo
Euphonium), son Chris (Soprano), daughters Jackie (ex Tenor
Trombone) and Shelley (ex Bass Trombone), as well as sons and
daughters-in-law and grandchildren.
The band is devastated by the loss of Jenny.

Jenny's family and friends filled St
Richard’s Church, Eastbourne for her funeral on Thursday 5th February.
The congregation entered the church to her
favourite music. LGB Brass accompanied the hymns and played
Crimond as people left.
Instead of flowers, the family suggested a
donation to Cancer Research. This can be done via Funeral
Directors Haine & Son, 19 South Street, Eastbourne, BN21 4UJ
