A MUCH loved grandmother had 600 people attend her funeral in Chertsey on Wednesday (October 28).

Janey Lee, 78, from Chertsey, died on October 13 at 10:05am at St Peters hospital with friends and family at her bedside after suffering from a stroke.

Janey was buried at Abbeymoor cemetery with scores of flowers scattered around her grave commemorating her life.

Her son Nelson Lee, 51, said: "She was a lovely woman, I can't let go, it's very hard.

"I learnt a lot from my mum, she taught me respect people, she used to say 'If you respect people they respect you and you can always go back.'

"She was the one everyone went to for advice, she was everyone's mum."

Mrs Lee was born on May 28 1931 in Bexley, Erith to Brogolia and Percy Draper-Smith, she was one of ten children Percy, Margy, Brogolia, Edmond, Benny, Timmy, Betsy, Levi and Francis.

The family lived in Kent, moving to various places before settling in Ashford, where Janey met her husband of 52 years Nelson Lee.

Janey and Nelson started their married life in Shepperton Yard, where they had two children Nelson and Golia.

Janey and husband Nelson moved to Chertsey Lane in 1973 where they stayed until Janey's death.

Janey leaves behind a devoted husband and two loving children as well as grandchildren Janey, Golia, Emma and Louise.

Son Nelson Lee said: "I would like to thank everyone who attended the funeral."
