Devastated work colleagues paid an emotional tribute to Ms Brown, who worked at the Glan Rhos Nursing Home, fomr more than two decades.
A statement from the nursing home said: “Jenny, affectionately known to everyone here as ‘Queen,’ has been a valued member of staff at Glan Rhos for over 20 years. Not just a member of staff she was family.
“She first walked through the door as a shy 17-year-old and, over time, blossomed into the caring and compassionate person we all came to know and love. Jenny touched countless lives throughout her career, always greeting everyone with a warm smile that could light up any room.” Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox
“She never arrived at work without her make-up, especially her signature lipstick and favourite perfume. Jenny was deeply proud of her family, a devoted mother and grandmother. The news of her passing in such tragic circumstances has saddened us all, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family members also in the accident.
“This devastating news has profoundly affected everyone at Glan Rhos – staff, patients, and families alike. We have already received messages and phone calls offering condolences to Jenny’s family and everyone at the home.”
An earlier version of this article said a man had been charged. He was in fact arrested. No charges have made. We are happy to make that clear.
