Tribute to Jean Thorpe

Published 2nd January 2025, in News, News & Updates

Everyone at Living Options Devon has been deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our retired trustee, Jean Thorpe.

Jean was a long standing friend and champion of Living Options, having supported our founder Peter Swain for many years. Her larger-than-life personality, humour, and unwavering support will be greatly missed.

Jean had an incredible commitment to our staff and volunteers and was deeply passionate about our work supporting disabled people across Devon.  Her dedication and enthusiasm left an unforgettable mark on our charity and her legacy will continue to inspire us as we carry forward the mission she cared for so deeply. Our love and thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
