Obituaries
Joan Jeanes (1927-2012)
Born at Troytown near Puddletown, the eighth of the nine children of William
(Bill) Diment and Louisa, Joan’s first-name was Violet, which she hated. She grew
up in Stratton and later while working at Woolworths she met and married the
tall, handsome Charlie Jeanes, who also seemed to dislike his given name and
was always called Pete! In 1948 they moved to the brand-new 7 South View at
White Lackington, the envy of many as they had bathrooms and indoor flush
lavatories, and instantly made friends with their neighbours Pat and Doug Riggs.
Soon they had their two boys, Owen and Barry, supplemented at times by a
succession of children from the East End of London who came for a holiday in
the country but seemed to stay for months.
