Tribute to Gillian Frances Bernadette Stevenson, 1963 - 2026

Dearest Gill. You are out of pain now. Such a sad loss. Sending love to Paul

Dearest Gilly, there are no words to make this right. I am so grateful I managed to see you and say goodbye in person, that was a privilege. You were such a fun loving, driven person who achieved everything you set your sights on - further eduction, a degree, moving back to Wales, a tea room, there was nothing that could hold you back and you so loved to laugh! You have gone too soon. The love of your life did you so proud, right to the end my darling. Rest in peace now, i’ll be listening for your laugh x

I have known Gill for over 50 years, we first met in 1975 at Croesyceiliog Comprehensive School. We have stayed close friends all this time and used to meet up to go to 80's discos in Swansea regularly. Going to miss you so much mate. Xxx

I first met Gill when we both worked for AVDC. We got together at meetings and gradually got to know one another. I knew that she wanted to move to Wales and when later I moved there, I got back in touch to meet up. We had some fun times, talking about old times and she was particularly kind when my husband passed away in 2021. Paul and Gill invited me to a caravan in Pendine for the Queens Jubilee so I wasn’t on my own. I will remember her with fondest love and never forget the good times we had. She has passed away too young. Paul , you have done amazing work looking after Gill and I trust that you will have some respite now for rest and recuperation. Lots of love

I met Gill through WW and she was an inspiration to us all being so focussed, particularly when her next cruise was coming up. She really was a lovely lady and I feel very privileged to have met her. Rest in peace now Gill

Gill and I first met in the 80s whilst working at a District Council. We instantly clicked and had so many laughs together. Gill loved to dance and we went to so many dance nights together. Gill hardly ever left the dance floor once the music started. She was so full of energy, her smile lit up a room. Gill was beautiful inside and out and had the biggest heart ever. I was honoured to be a guest at the top table at her wedding with Paul in Oxford. That was such a beautiful day. I spent my 50th birthday with Gill and Paul in Swansea. They made my day so special. I have over 4 decades of memories with Gill and will treasure every one of them. I am so sorry you were taken so soon Gill but you can now rest in peace. I miss you my dearest friend. With love Jacs xx

I never had the chance to meet her but I met Paul, a very warm and nice man and I think Gill was the same, rest in peace Gill.

I first met Gill in 1990 when she became my team leader at AVDC. We hit it off and stuck together being the only 2 Welsh girls and became good friends. Our children also went to the same childminder for a while. I moved back to Wales in 1996 and not long after, Gill got in touch to say she had also moved to Swansea and was opening up a little tea shop down the Marina which I visited a few times. Her cakes were amazing and always looked forward to my visits to have a catch up. Also then managed to catch up with Gill a few times when she started work in the Guildhall. We would always have a good laugh over old times. I’m so sad that Gill has been taken so soon. RIP lovely lady xx

I met Gill in 1994 when we were both starting our HNC Business Studies at Hampden College. She introduced herself and invited me to join her and her friends. I had just moved into the area and didn't know many people. After our HNC finished, it was Gill that convinced me to carry on studying and we both graduated with pride and a degree from Brunel University. We remained firm friends over the years, sometimes our paths separated but we always made the effort to stay in touch, meeting up, fun weekends away, many thrills, spills, ups, downs but always laughter. You showed me kindness that first day we met in that classroom and I'll always remember that. Thankyou for always having my back. I was with you when you first met Paul, all these years ago at the Lee Gate, and you both lived life to the full with so much more planned. I'm sorry you were taken too soon, thankyou for being a good friend, I'll miss you. RIP

I'm one of the girls that Gill went for coffee with on a Saturday morning . Gill will be missed she was a lovely lady a beautiful soul ❤️I will miss that smile of yours Gill but now you are out of pain and can now rest sleep well forever in my thoughts .💔

I have known gill, since I moved here in 1978, when with her sister alison walked to school together. We later joined the judo club, she was very funny when she used to throw people around. She was a good friend. I followed her travels with u paul. The restaurant in swansea, all memories. She was the sole of the party, always laughing, but she did have a naughty side of her, but that's another story. She will be sadly missed, by so many people, I will always remember her laugh. RIP GILL. FLY HIGH. XX
