Chloe was known for her ready smile and has asked that those attending her Thanksgiving Service wear 'Happy Clothes'. She specified; 'Something that you have only had the chance to wear once but feel good/comfy in; PJ's, wedding dress, fancy dress anything goes.'
Bear in mind that the service is in a church please.
The service of Thanksgiving is to be held at St Edmund's Church, Kessingland, NR33 7TP on Monday 4th June at 1pm. Family and close friends to the Ellough Crematorium for 2pm. Everyone is welcome to the wake to follow the service at Kessingland Methodist Church, NR33 7TQ near the Chinese Takeaway.

Flowers from the immediate family only, donation details on this site.

The targets for charities on this site have been exceeded please use the following links to donate instead to Clic Sargent, Cancer Research or StephsWishes.

Generous donations have already been sent to The Big C, The Princess Trust (wigs) and Josie's Dragonfly Trust (days out/holidays), The Willow Foundation who funded Chloe's visit to Heston Blumenthal's amazing restaurant last year and The Astro Fund who are researching into the kind of tumour Chloe had.

However, we would like you, in Chloe's memory to spend time with friends and family, go to the theatre, arrange a meal together, see people that you keep meaning to meet up with. Put the phones down and talk. Chloe loved birthdays and so often people say they'll go to a birthday event and don't go, please make the point of going and sharing in each others celebrations. Enjoy your birthdays please, if you haven't had a year to celebrate, make exciting plans for the year ahead.

Chloe has asked that people 'Bring photo's or memories we've shared of how I changed or helped them.' There will be a book or cards to record these.

I was Chloe's form and English teacher at the Leman - she was a lovely girl and I am very saddened by her death - especially as my brother died of the same cause - rest in peace Chloe - never forgotten

  • Thank you for your thoughtful words, sorry to hear of your own experience. I remember her speaking fondly of 'Mr Roger' and enjoyed meeting you at Parents evenings.

Only just heard about this sad news. Thoughts are with with the whole family and the extended 759 clan who served with her. Chloe did much to help my daughters journey through cadets. A really sad loss.

This was a lovely picture taken at the 2016 Christmas school party. I was pretty new to the school and Chloe was always so lovely to me, making me feel welcome as a new member at the school. There couldn't have been a nicer, more genuine person than Chloe

Words cannot adequately express, except to say that any parent would be proud to have Chloe as a daughter. Thank you Chloe for the brightness you brought into people’s lives, you will be sorely missed.

I thought about your smile,then I realized its worth.
A single smile, just like yours, could travel round the earth.
So if you think of Chloe and let a smile begin,don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!
Will miss you. Gail Jupe

Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu,
When Chloe smiled at me - I started smiling too.
I thought about that smile - now fully realize its worth.
A single smile, just like yours - could travel round the earth.
So when you think of her, let a smile begin,
And start an epidemic - and get the world infected! Will miss you. Gail Jupe

Cherished memories of a woman who lived life to the full even when faced with hardship. At my 40th you thanked me for being a role model and now I thank you for showing me strength beyond all belief. I know you continue to shine. Until we meet again. X
