Jane Tweddle-Taylor: Welcoming & Generous
Jane Tweddle-Taylor was one of the victims of the Manchester attack. This photo is from a memorial that was put together at the school, South Shore Academy, where she was a receptionist. Jane Bailey, principal, told BBC of Jane: "As our receptionist, she was in many ways, the public face of the school and she represented us amazingly in this role. We have received numerous messages of condolence... All of them say the same things about our lovely Jane... bubbly, kind, welcoming, funny, generous... the list goes on. Our thoughts are also with her family at this dreadful time and in particular her three daughters. In our school family and theirs she is irreplaceable, much loved and will never be forgotten."
Jane's husband, Mark, spoke of his devastation when he learned the news, Mirror reported. He is a former Hartlepool United, Blackpool and Wrexham winger. He said, "Jane was obviously a very, very lovely lady and a very good mother to three daughters... She was full of life and very energetic with the children, going to functions and all sort of different things like skiing. We had loads of happy times." Mark was away on business and learned about the tragedy from his daughter.
Jane had gone with one of her friends to drop her children off for the concert. They had dinner together, waited for the concert to finish, and then went back to pick up the children. Her friend and the children were OK. (Facebook)
