  1. Thinking of all of Jenny’s family on her passing. Fond memories of working nightshift together on North 2 and nearly setting off the fire alarm, when I made you a cake for your 60th birthday! You were an amazing mentor and teacher, especially with your cardiac knowledge and great level of patience whilst teaching me how to analyse an ECG. Rest peacefully beautiful Lady- reunited with your beloved Fred. ❤️ Lesley

    I have lovely memories of a beautiful charge nurse who embraced all the student nurses and taught us well. It was great to return to Colac as an RN and work alongside her.
