Her husband has released the following statement:
“It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah
Deakin’s family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday 7th
December 2016.
Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of
leukaemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. We respectfully
request that the family are given time and space to grieve in private.
Johannah was first and foremost a truly amazing mother
to seven children – Louis (24), Lottie (18), Félicité (16), and two sets of
twins, Phoebe and Daisy (12) and Ernest and Doris (2) – whose individual
talents and success are testament to the principles and beliefs she instilled
in them. She was also an incredibly proud grandmother to
Freddie.
Incredibly selfless, she would always look to put
other people before herself. She desired nothing more than for everyone around
her to be happy and loving. She worked tirelessly on numerous charity
campaigns, creating memories for many individuals and their families. It wasn’t
uncommon for Johannah to hear through the media of an individual in need of
assistance, and she would immediately make it her objective to get that person
what they often desperately needed, and rarely without success. These are the
things that made Johannah happy and content in life, and all of which for me
made her simply the perfect wife and best friend to face each day with. I
thoroughly loved walking through life with her, and though five years was far
too short a time, during that time we had so many lifetimes worth of happiness,
adventures, and memories.
We would like to send our sincere thanks to Professor
Steve Mackinnon and his team at University College London Hospital where
Johannah was hospitalised since May. And during the last few weeks Professor
John Snowden and his colleagues at Royal Hallamshire Hospital Sheffield.”
