Jean Kloos, who handled TRADA’s public affairs and communications and was a former editor of TTJ, has died.

Jean was well-known throughout the industry. She worked for TRADA for 12 years and edited TTJ in the 1980s.

She leaves her husband Simon and sons Callum and David.

Following a private family cremation service, there will be a Service of Celebration for Jean’s life, followed by the interment of her ashes on Thursday May 10 at 3pm at St Simon and St Jude’s Church at Milton-under-Wychwood OX7 6LH. This will be followed by refreshments and a bar in a marquee on the village green which is about 200 yards from the church.

It is a celebration of Jean’s life so the family have asked that people do not wear mourning attire. All those who knew Jean are welcome.

A full obituary follows in the next edition of TTJ.
