Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jenny Lawson, died after a long illness on 6th April 2019. Jenny was extremely grateful to the local NHS staff and services who provided her with treatment and care over recent years, and to two charities who supported her and her family; Marie Curie Cancer Care and St Raphael's Hospice, Sutton.

As many will know, Jenny founded Surrey Harmony in 1990 and chartered the chorus with Sweet Adelines International (SAI) in 1992. She was responsible for leading and directing the chorus to many success over the years, including five regional gold medals, seven regional silver medals, two wildcards, and seven international appearances. Competing at international was a huge challenge for Jenny as she had to overcome a very strong fear of flying, but her love of singing and drive to succeed enabled her to overcome her fears. Also having her Assistant Director and friend, Judith, alongside for support made all the difference.

She will be remembered in so many wonderful ways by family and friends, all those who had the pleasure to sing with her, be directed or coached by her, and by those who knew her through the barbershop community. 

Please help us celebrate Jenny's life and incredible contribution and achievements in the barbershop world, as well as her many musical talents outside of this.
