We are raising funds to buy a memorial tree for one of our founder members and good friend Jean Ketley.

Jean has certainly left a huge hole in the Friends of Sandall Park group. A stalwart, never shying away from hard work, always making the group smile and leaving special memories with each and every one of us. She was a founding member and remained a member until she passed away, continuing to be interested its progress.

Whatever was happening in the park, be it a litter pick; planting bulbs; a major event or simply a health walk – Jean was always there, even when she wasn’t well. She is probably best known for her job taking registrations for the annual Hook a Duck championships.

She always made us laugh at FoSP meetings with her anecdotes. Her repertoire at the FoSP Christmas party – singing along to Ron’s piano playing of the Christmas Carols is unrivalled, she was always game for a laugh.

She will truly be missed by all our group and to ensure her memory lives on in the park we want to buy a tree in her honour. Please help us to do that and consider making a donation. Thank you.
