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.

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

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

That is really sad. God Bless Jingles

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

Very sad to read this. Always loved Jingles witty posts.
She was sadly missed by many when she left.
R.I.P. and condolences to her friends and family.

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.

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

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

Gagagran Sat 13-Feb-21 18:07:41

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

Very sad news.

BlueBelle Sat 13-Feb-21 18:13:36

Very sorry to hear this news it’s always sad to read something like this especially when she wasn’t here for support
I never really came across her that much but I know how fondly she has been talked about by others
Kind thoughts to her family if they are reading this ❤️

Oh this is such very sad news. I’ve often thought about her. There was never a dull moment when she joined in a thread. She was direct, she was hilariously funny. She was so very kind to me when I was troubled. I will hold her close in my thoughts tonight and for a long time after. Condolences to her family and all who knew. RIP Jings

Very sorry and sad to read this. I always got and enjoyed Jings sense of humour and feel GN lost something when she had to leave. Condolences to her family and friends. flowers

Sad news- never a dull moment with Jings around.Condolences to her loved ones

Kalu Sat 13-Feb-21 18:36:22

So sad to hear this news. Always a spark but never boring with Jings around. Such a sincerely caring person too. Such love for her family.
I thought her latest comeback hilarious as there was no doubt who used that certain style of posting. It was a sorry day for Gransnet when she was permanently banned.
RIP Jings

So very sad to hear this, don't think I can add anything to what has already been said about a much missed and never forgotten member of GN ?

Happyme Sat 13-Feb-21 18:45:01

Thanks for letting us know glassortwo as with others jinglebells was the initial reason I would log into the gransnet site. I loved her irreverant sense of humour and enjoyed her fiestiness. I always had the impression of someone who was just as likely to pick you up as slap you down and although there were a few jaw dropping comments I missed her whenever she was banned. Used to enjoy trying to spot her reincarnations. Can anyone give me a list of them in case I missed any! Condolences to her loved ones and everyone else who misses her. Life would be so much duller without such characters, wish GNHQ would appreciate that.

Alima Sat 13-Feb-21 18:50:00

Oh what sad news, it has actually made me feel ill.
I loved her sometimes irreverent take on life, her kind and generous heart and her witty, funny style.
Condolences to her family.
Rest in Peace jingles, you will be greatly missed.

cornergran Sat 13-Feb-21 18:50:12

Sad news. Jings was spirited, kind hearted and her posts were much missed here. My condolences to her family. flowers.

BlueBelle Sat 13-Feb-21 19:37:52

Reading through these comments I hope HQ realise how wrong they are to keep banning people for being who they are
We can all fight our own battles
Obviously a much loved one off character

JoyBloggs Sat 13-Feb-21 20:04:37

RIP Jings, she was such a character and I always enjoyed reading her posts, whether I agreed with them or not. Have often thought about her, she was one of the 'big names' when I joined in 2013. Sincere condolences to her family flowers

Whitewavemark2 Sat 13-Feb-21 20:29:24

RIP jinglebellfrocks - your posts gave me joy and amusement for too short a time.

Fennel Sat 13-Feb-21 20:30:36

Very sad news - I miss her too even though at times I thought she went too far. But she was always kind..
As * Gonegirl* she gave me good advice about my new 'puter chair which I'm using now. . I'll have to call it my Jings chair.
As Merlot implies, she had personal problems in the past. if I remeber rightly.

Marydoll Sat 13-Feb-21 20:40:14

She didn't pretend to be someone, she wasn't. What you saw was what you got. I liked that about her.

Fennel Sat 13-Feb-21 20:44:58

ps As many of us seem to become attached to other posters, at this time and at our age it would be helpful, for me anyway, to have news about any who are poorly.
or God forbid, passed on. Not for morbid reasons, but to send condolences to their families.
Thanks to you, glassortwo for the OP.
