Jean Mary Beech passed away at home on the 12th of September, 2008 after a brief battle with cancers of the lung and breast. She passed away with her loving husband of nearly 40 years, Michael, at her side.

Jean is survived by her husband, Michael Beech, her brothers Derek Batten and Geoffrey Batten, her sons Simon Beech and Craig Beech, and her grandchildren Joshua Beech, Rebecca Beech, and Isabel Beech.

In her last months, Jean received gentle care and loving support from the people of St. Barnabus Hospice who did everything in their power to help make her comfortable. Jean would have greatly appreciated that this level of care be able to continue for others in need through donations made by her family and friends.

Please welcome us in celebrating her life by donating to a charity that was very close to her heart. In doing so, know that Jean would have been proud to see so many more people receive the same level of care and attention that she received when they need it the most.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way make a donation as St Barnabas Hospices (Sussex) Ltd gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you so much for your love and support.
