The obituary notice of Jennifer Davinia (Jenni) HAZELL-DARBY

Fly high Jenni. Our thoughts are with all the family at this difficult time xx

We will miss you so much Jenni xx

Jenni was such a bright light, everyone I know who met her spoke of her kindness. Being one of the first to pass on our year group it has had an impact on everyone who knew her. Even those who were in her form group in Y5/6 knew her bright bubbly personality. When we were young she was always the one to offer a hand to those who needed it, to invite them to chat or play if they were alone and was such a beautiful soul. I'm grateful for every message we sent to eachother and the time we had. Every time I lace up my running shoes I think of Jenni and her support, encouragment and Tom Cruise references

I saw Jenni most days when she came to OHMS as she would pop into the room next to my class. She was just a normal girl who put her health struggles to one side and enjoyed being part of the Oldfields’ family. I’m sure she had hard days and problems like any other young adult, but I only saw Jenni trying to make the most of the opportunities that came her way. I hope her time with us provided some sense of normalcy and respite to balance out the harder times. We were lucky to have her as a student at our school and she is still fondly remembered. As a teacher you don’t forget children like Jenni, not because of their struggles but because of the quiet dignity they go about their day to day life. Bless you Jenni
