TRIBUTES have been paid to 73-year-old woman Jenny Chilton who died after a crash in Bulkington.

It happened on Winterton Road on Wednesday.

Her family said everyone who knew Jenny loved her, adding all her family and friends were devastated and heartbroken by this tragedy.

“We have lost the heart of our family, a treasured mum and a devoted and energetic grandma.




Jenny was very much at the centre of village life in Bulkington and was an active member of numerous community groups.

Her family added: “She loved to sing, leading the church choir at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart and also as a member of the Bulkington Community Choir.


“Jenny was a talented artist, participating in the Nuneaton and District Society of Artists. She regularly exhibited her work.

“However, she may be best remembered by generations of villagers as ‘Auntie Jenny’ in fond memory of their happy times at Jack and Jill nursery, which she ran for many years.

“She loved village life in Bulkington.

“It is heartbreaking to think that this lovely woman, our mum, one who gave so much to others, should have her life taken away like this.”

A man arrested in connection has been release under investigation while enquiries continue.
