Sending deepest condolences to all of Jackie’s family, friends and her online community. We never met but we chatted as instagram friends over the years. Jackie’s posts brightened up my feed and were inspirational with her love for chickens, cake and flowers. Her warmth and passion for life shone through, her creations were incredible. I only wish we’d had the opportunity to meet. Sending love at this difficult time. Jackie, you will be greatly missed, even by those who never met you 🩷.

True sorrow for Martin for losing his devoted wife, joint home builder and cake maker, as I remember with my dealings with Gallows Hill Farm Brailes and Martin Simcock, pre summer 2017 , Jackie was a fit, bright, active lady so its beyond my comprehension Jackie has passed so sudden and from such a nasty condition. Having a lost a good friend in his mid 60's from it in February 2023 , I know this will hurt. To Martin , and Jackies family my sincere sympathy's in your joint loss. RIP Jackie. And thanks for the chats and tasty homemade iced cakes while i chatted with Martin on arable crop matters and agronomy.

So many memories of working at Volvo, riding horses and bouncing in aerobics with you. Jackie, you were a force of nature that I have been privileged to know. Gone so soon and far too quickly, my heart breaks for Martin and your family. You will be missed by so many and loved and remembered always Julie and Bob xxx
