Thread Name: Obit: Jenny Williams (JennyO) (1945-2025)
Subject: Obit: Jenny Williams (JennyO) 1945 - 2025
It took me a little while to connect the dots, because years ago Jenny Williams was JennyO and lived in Australia. But she married and moved to the UK and became Jenny Williams. She wasn't very active on Mudcat after 2018, but did drop in as a guest occasionally.

I noticed a past tense remark about Jenny on a Facebook post by Liz the Squeak and went looking. The following was posted on April 8, 2025 by Sammi Lucille Carter, Jenny's daughter.
Dearest friends Sadly we lost mum after fighting an extremely hard battle with a God awful Bacterial/ Respiratory infection *caused by Strapptococous dysgalactiae along with secondary pneumonia, then treated for Septicemia & other serious health complications in December 2024. She was lucky enough to survive all that because yes she was a fighter . Unfortunately she was extremely weakened by the Sepsis but regardless fought on another 3xmonths back at home with the amazing & thoughtful care of Nurses and Rob Williams who has been an absolute legend. I'm sorry for ours &everyone' loss , to Mum& Rob's friends & family and everyone who was part of Mums life . Yesterday her struggle ended & she got her Angel's wings , love you forever Mum I will miss you soooo much this world won't be the same without you xXxxxx may you Rest in P.e.a.ce. xXxxxxxxx @Jenny Williams 1945 ~2025


Another post a couple of days later from Sammi to the Facebook account of Mudcatter freda underhill:
More info about Jenny Williams from her daughter Sammi:
Hi Amalina , so Mum passed away on Tuesday 8th April 2025. She passed in her sleep, the Doctors & nurses would have made her as comfortable in the hospital as possible as they were treated her as an 'end of life ' on this last hospital admission. It all happened very fast Rob said, he said he would have thought she at least had a couple of more days. I found out the news from my Brother as I was just about to board the Airoplane. I must have sat & cried for a good 4 hours during my Hong Kong stopover. Anyway I've made it to Cossington England now helping Rob clean up a bit and along with Uncle Graham we'll organise a funeral followed by some type of 'music session', Graham suggests . It's a shame Mum won't be there ,I'm truly missing her so much . You were a good friend & found a nice piece of your Artwork xXxxxxx

I'll also share a bit of biographical information plucked from a post by Amalina:
All those festivals, all the singing and laughs xxx thank you You ran the excellent folk club North by Northwest for many years, promoting Australian singers and songwriters. You were part of the Wicca and goddess communities, you sang in the excellent Lemon Tarts with the wonderful Sue Gee who is also grieving. With our friend Pam we were a fearsome threesome, carousing and carrying on ..You joined us with Len Neary, Sandra Nixon, Malcolm Menzies, Judy Pinder, Miguel Heatwole and Margaret Walters and other wonderful singers at the Glengarry Castle singing sessions, and I met you in the Solidarity Choir (remember one performance at St Albans where neither of us knew the song or the tune???)

This post includes monikers from Mudcat that aren't the same on Facebook. If any of the folks I've quoted or referred to want the names changed here, let me know and I can make adjustments.
