FAMILY and friends of a 26-year-old woman with cervical cancer have been left devastated following her death.
Jamie Harrison, known as Jamie Lea Jepson before she married husband Gareth, died on Monday.
Jamie had vowed to walk down the aisle despite the pain caused by her terminal illness and she and Gareth married at the town hall in January after £3,500 was raised to give her the wedding of her dreams.
Her funeral will be held on Friday June 12 at Elsecar Church. Jamie requested everyone wears pink and there is no-one in black suits.
** The full story will be in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated June 5. **
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
