2 November, 1946 – 5 May, 2022.

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Jenny Watt, wonderful and dedicated wife to the late ‘Papa’ John Watt (formerly of Coleman & Watt Butchers) for over 34 years, mother of Belinda Billingsley, stepmother to Nick Watt, sister to Peter Reynolds and the late Margaret Reynolds, grandmother, auntie and friend.

Known for her love of golf, the beach and sunbathing, my Mom was overjoyed to be living back in Jersey, albeit for a short time, she was so happy. She leaves behind an extended family in the UK, Jersey and Canada.

Her ashes will be scattered alongside her beloved husband John in a ceremony in Jersey this summer, details to be announced.

Rest my beautiful mother, you are so loved.
