Memorial Donations
A JustGiving page for Janina, to fundraise in her memory, is available by clicking on this link.
The family have chosen the British Heart Foundation, as Janina was very grateful for the scientific progress and clinical expertise that helped her survive a serious heart condition for many more years than originally feared. It meant she got the joy of seeing her grandson regularly, from newly born to his first day at school.
Janina survived a total of 12 heart attacks, pneumonia, sepsis and multiple organ failure, to see in Christmas 2023 and the New Year at home. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and her carers, on the 10th January 2024.
