Evelyn Jeacock

A well-known and respected member of the village, Evelyn Jeacock, passed peacefully away age 85 years on June 21^st at Southfields, Brackley. With her husband Reg and their six children, she moved to Helmdon to run The Chequers in 1952 where they lived for twenty six years. Evelyn successfully combined business and family life, and was a long standing member of the WI. Two years ago, she and Reg celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary, which was marked by the planting of a tree on the Green. She will be remembered as a beloved and loving wife, mother and grandmother and our heartfelt sympathy goes to Reg and all the family.
