Relatives of a beloved colleague who died suddenly last year planted a tree in her honour at the opening of a tranquil memorial garden at Moseley Hall Hospital.
Relatives of Jane Lapsey, who worked in a variety of learning and development roles during a 20-year NHS career, planted a Japanese maple tree in a quiet, seldom used space next to the historic Old Hall conservatory. The family has also donated a bench for the garden.
Jane’s parents, daughters and grandchildren attended a reception event to in her honour, with colleagues sharing their memories in pictures, poetry and prose.
Head of learning and development Heather Wilby said: “We’re delighted that Jane’s family were able to join us so that they realise how much she meant to us and how, even though she’s no longer with us, she’s a pioneer as the first colleague to be commemorated in this wonderful new garden.
