JeanLEIGHJean Leigh passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on 5th April.

Jean was a truly special woman - full of life, love, strength, and character. She had a way of making herself known in any room, bringing laughter, honesty, and a fierce love for her family that will never be forgotten.

Her funeral service will be held on Wednesday 29th April at 1:30pm at Altrincham Crematorium, Whitehouse Lane, Dunham Massey, Altrincham (WA14 5RH).

After the service, you are warmly invited to join us at Metrovicks Rugby Club, Finneybank Lane, Sale (M33 6LR) to celebrate her life, share memories, and raise a glass to the incredible woman she was.

Family flowers only, please. Donations, if desired, are to Positive About Down Syndrome, a charity especially close to her heart. Her first grandson, Adam, was born with Down syndrome, and they shared an unbreakable and deeply special bond. She wouldn't have changed him for the world, but she would have changed the world for him.

If you are able to attend, we kindly ask that you let a family member know.

In loving memory of our Club founder, who gave years and years of devoted coaching to literally 1000's of local girls. Always missed Queen Jean. From all your "bessie mates" in the netball family.
