Jean Broderick

On 3rd January 2020 peacefully in hospital, Jean aged 86 years of Church. The dearly loved wife of the late Chris, much loved mum of Chris and Nick, loving mother in law of Linda, devoted gran of Kira, Della, Anthony, Kiel, Lisha and the late Carl, great gran of Josh, Alyse, Toby, Ayrton and Jacob, dear sister of Doug, Kath and the late Frank and also a dear sister in law and auntie.

Jean spent the first ten years of her working life as a secretary at Bracewell Transport. She had always adored films and the movies and so was delighted to then become an Usherette at the Palladium in Oswaldtwistle where she remained until she had her family and became a full time housewife and mum. Jean was a real home-bird and was a loving, caring and patient mum. She had also been an avid reader and her knowledge was vast. She particularly liked history and had a fascination with all things to do with The Titanic. She loved countdown, her cigarettes and Guinness. She loved to keep up to date with all her grandchildren and looked forward, each Thursday, to looking after son Chris’s dog, Zac and enjoying Chippy Tea afterwards with Chris. Jean’s life completely centred around her family whom she loved so much.

Donations in Jean’s memory may be made to PDSA
