Family tribute to Blackwood woman killed in Christmas Day car crash

News | | Published: 14:03, Monday January 1st, 2018.

The family of a 71-year-old grandmother who was killed in a Christmas Day car crash have described her as “the most caring and most generous mum and nanny in the world”.

Gloria Jones, from Blackwood, died after her blue Citroen C3 was involved in a collision with a beige Vauxhall Astra at around 3.05pm on the A421 in in Bedfordshire between junction 13 of the M1 and Milton Keynes.

The family of Mrs Jones said in a statement: “We are absolutely heartbroken; we have lost the most caring and most generous mum and nanny in the world. She was the kindest and brightest light. She loved everyone, and she was dearly loved by everyone. We are completely lost without her.”

She leaves behind two children and four grandchildren; three boys aged 12, eight and 11 months, and a girl aged four.
