Hi All,
Been a while since I last visited Gransnet but I have had such sad news this morning that I had to share.
Jingles who was one of Gransnets first members sadly passed away on Thursday after recovering well from a hip replacement after a fall, but then on Wednesday she suffered a pulmonary embolism and sadly passed away in hospital.
Those of us that remember Jingle will do so with fond memories of her sparky personality and lively debate, I will miss her.

Very sad news.

Good post Jomarie - I agree.

Jings was one of my all-time favourites on GN and I am so very sorry to hear that she has died. It doesn't possible that that funny, feisty, kind character is no more.

RIP Jings and condolences to her family and friends from me too. flowers

Sorry to hear the sad news, and thanks for letting us know Glassortwo

Sad news indeed. Things were never dull with Jings around, for certain. RIP ? and condolences to her family.

Jomarie Sat 13-Feb-21 18:00:08

That is sad news - I thought she was great fun - really enjoyed her sense of humour and devil may care attitude - GN for me has not been the same since she stopped posting. Condolences to her family and friends.

She was sadly missed by many when she left.
R.I.P. and condolences to her friends and family.

Thanks for letting us know glass I’m so very sad to hear this.

I don’t use Twitter much but did read the comings and goings of Jings on there. She was kind, could be acerbic, but never dull. My sincere condolences to her family.

R.I.P. Jings thanks

That is really sad. God Bless Jingles

We're so very sorry to hear this. Condolences to her family from GNHQ. flowers

How very sad, thank you so much for letting us all know. Like others, I found Jings feisty, but certainly never left you in any doubt as to her opinions, very refreshing attitude. How tragic for her family to have lost her after she had got through the surgery. flowers

I feel so shocked at this news. jinglebellsfrocks as she was when I first joined GN. I remember asking her once where her username came from. Always fun posts to read. I always liked her posts.
RIP Jings and condolences to all her family. flowers

Sad day here I remember her from when I first joined gransnet she was outspoken but fair . RIP.?

Aveline Sat 13-Feb-21 15:28:06

Very sad and very sudden. I had a Twitter message from her only last week and she seemed on form. RIP jinglebellsfrock

Jingle was spirited and funny and had a kind heart.

Chewbacca Sat 13-Feb-21 15:22:09

Very sad to hear this news. I didn't know her as Jingles but I did as GoneGirl and I liked her very much. RIP Jingles.

R.I.P Jingles one of a kind ,condolences to all who love her

PECS Sat 13-Feb-21 15:13:14

How sad. She was a wonderful character and brought a spark to threads. Yes she pushed the boundaries ..but the world , and GN needs, people like Jingl to add the spice, be a part of life's great tapestry and to make us think!
She was a devoted and loving grandmother. My condolences to her friends and family flowers

Cherrytree59 Sat 13-Feb-21 15:02:17

Oh what sad news.
My condolences to her family.

I know Jings had her own way of posting and was quite a character, she could ruffle a few of the GGHQ feathers.

Spotting a thread, where I
had posted about being nervous about an up and coming stay in hospital, which involved an operation , Jings got in touch by PM and was very supportive whilst I was in hospital and after.

She was a kind lady, who I have always missed on GN.

I enjoyed the 'spot the Jings posts' under several noms de plume. Usually around Christmas time.
Jings also shared same birthday as my DH.

RIP Jings ?

So so sorry to hear the news. We did not always see eye to eye but she was so straight about everything. Her poor family- RIP Jingl or Gonegirl.

rafichagran Sat 13-Feb-21 14:58:29

I liked her too. RIP Jings flowers

MrsJeeves Sat 13-Feb-21 14:50:33

I've been a long-time lurker and I always enjoyed Jingl's posts, she was so entertaining and lively, a personality plus lady.

Bathsheba Sat 13-Feb-21 14:41:54

So very sad to hear this. Jingles was a real character, feisty, hilarious, unpredictable. She could slap you down in a flash, but she was also one of the most caring and supportive of posters. I was so pleased to see her back as Gonegirl, the same unique posting style that we all knew and loved so well, unmistakably Jingles! Very much missed since her ban (very unfair and an overreaction on the part of the powers that be IMHO).
RIP Jinglebellfrocks, gone but never forgotten.

Anniebach Sat 13-Feb-21 14:41:06

I am so sorry and so sad , I liked her very much
