Liz and David

We first met Jean in Ghana in the late 1960s when she and Frank were teaching there. She was a breath of fresh air, particularly for Liz who was a bored diplomatic wife in Accra. Jean started a madrigal group in our house which occasionally performed - which was a tonic for us all. We kept up with her in Marlborough and Devizes in later years, and David saw her regularly in the Bach Choir. We will miss her a lot.

Thank you so much, Jean, for warmly supporting me when I was boarding at Marlborough and really needed some additional parenting. And for doing that so wholeheartedly that you stayed as a warm friend thereafter. Thank you for that generosity and openness, and for the fun, and for the shared music.

With very happy memories of Notting Hill and Ealing High School's inspirational music teacher, whom I credit with giving me a lifelong passion for choral singing.

We had the fortune to 'meet' Jean virtually in late 2020. Although we only spoke on a handful of occasions, we feel lucky to have met such a wonderful lady and someone so full of life and friendly. Rest in peace and thinking of her family and friends at this difficult time

In memory of Jean, who I had the pleasure of knowing through Abigail. So sad to hear of her passing but remembering Jean's passion for music, her quick wit, warmth and sparkling intelligence. It's thanks to her that the music at our wedding was of such a high standard. Requiem aeternam. Thoughts are with her friends and family xxx

Growing up in the Kabbara household, Auntie Jean would always stop by. She was a force of nature, full of life and always with a smile! RIP Auntie Jean. xxx

Mrs Burrow, you were a wonderful music teacher and an inspiration. You taught me a love of music that still abides with me and had a healthy sceptism of authority that resonated. I'm so very glad we had a chance to reestablish contact later on and had some good discussions on Facebook. It was an honour knowing you. xx

Jean was such a fantastic person who sailed through challenges with style, marvellous humour, great intelligence and with such warmth. There aren’t any more Jean Burrows out there. She was an original, and I will always be grateful to her.

Jean was a near neighbour who became a special friend. She was part of a group who met regularly. Her intelligence and wide range of interests in our get- togethers were of such value to each of us. We shall all miss her, her empathy and sense of fun. It is so sad that her friendship has been cut short.

Janet and Ken

We are still in shock and saddened at the news from Carcassonne just a week ago now. Her friends, including those in Devizes, will really miss this much loved lady. Ever the teacher, she helped us to appreciate and get to love classical music, enjoy the colourful birds posted on Facebook, the joy of listening to and singing in a choir, and her recounting to us tales of her beloved Cumbria. We will all treasure our long, lingering, lovely memories of life with Jean in our midst. Rest in peace dear Jean.

Jean was a remarkable human being and a valued friend. Both empathetic and challenging - and never, ever dull......

Clare Gray

Mrs Burrows was a brilliant teacher to my daughter Olivia ( CLSG 1994- 2003) giving her a love of music and the opportunity to sing not only in the school choir but also in the ripoeno section of the Bach choir for the Matthew Passion. Jean was also a neighbour of my hairdresser Ray, when they had adjoining houseboats in the Regent’s Canal. He has sent this message: “ R i P me dear we always had a laugh at wend lock never forgotten,Ray Rough.” With great memories and deepest sympathy. Clare Gray ( Olivia’s mum)
