This site is a tribute to Janette Danbrowsky, our amazing mum who sadly passed away on 6th February 2021, aged just 69.
Mum was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia in 2015 and, although she bravely fought to keep her symptoms at bay, sadly her condition deteriorated rapidly over the past two years.
We know how loved she was by so many of you, and have set up this page so you can remember her with messages, memories and pictures.
It goes without saying that she will be so deeply missed. In memory of mum and in lieu of flowers, we’re kindly accepting donations to be split 50/50 between two charities - Younger People With Dementia (YPWD) and Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK).
YPWD is a local charity that supported mum later in her illness - giving her the freedom to enjoy activities she loved, like walking and gardening, in a safe space.
ARUK funds vital research into cures for all forms of dementia, so hopefully one day soon families will be free from this cruel disease.
Mum’s funeral is on Monday 8th March. Sadly, due to COVID restrictions, we are unable to invite everyone she would have wanted to be there. If we have been in touch to invite you, then please do let us know if you can attend. If not, we’re sorry, but we’ll host a get-together to celebrate her life as soon as we can.
Love Hannah, Amy, Lauren and Vanessa x
In loving memory. Thinking about you all and always here for you <3
In memory of a good friend. Lots of lovely memories of weekends at Burnham Cricket Club and in later years catching up over lunch with the same group of friends. We will miss you.
I want to say thank you for making me feel like family, for always making me feel welcome, for raising my favourite person. I never saw or felt anything but kindness, love and warmth from you and saw you as family. As a mum and grandmother you were a role model and I hope I can raise my child to be even half as strong and independent as yours are. They are all so different from each other but yet show the same fierce strength. The fact that you nurtured that in them shows what an amazing mum you were. They are a credit to you. My heart is broken for them and for us friends who saw you like a mum too. You gave me a second home and somewhere I always felt welcome at anytime. I don’t think you could ever know what that meant or means to me. I have so many fond memories of Danbrowsky fireworks night; your outstanding coleslaw, proper oven baked potatoes, real butter! An array of desserts and the inevitable drunkenness ensued with you falling asleep after too much soave! I don’t think I saw you sit down often other than those occasions! You were always cleaning or hanging washing out, putting a wash on. Always working hard for your family. Always putting your girl’s needs first and then grandchildren, who trumped the girls! Thank you for your love and impact you have had on me and my life. We will look after your family, they are ours too, as you were. Xxx
