“SHE was one in a million” - that is how a man has described his partner of six-years killed in a car crash at Fraisthorpe.
Jennie Stone, 28, had been overtaking a truck on the A165 at Fraisthorpe just minutes after dropping her nine-year-old son off at school when she was involved in a collision with another car before hitting a tree.
Jennie died at the wheel of the blue Peugeot 206 she had been driving, devastating her loved ones who only last summer buried her brother, Private Gregg Stone, 20, who was killed in action while on a mission to rescue a senior Afghan police chief.
Tomorrow Jennie’s family and friends, including parents Angie and Bob Stone, of Hornsea, will hold a funeral service for her at her home town’s St Nicholas Church - the same church where Gregg was laid to rest with full military honours last June.
Now her partner Dave Parker, 45, has spoken out about the loss of his “soul mate” paying tribute to Jennie as a loving, caring person who always had a smile on her face.
“Jennie changed my life completely and utterly. She brought out the best in everybody, she genuinely did.
“She never had a bad word to say to anyone and was not the type of person to ever fall out with anybody, she always saw the good side in people and would help anybody, it didn’t matter who,” said Dave.
“I loved everything about her. She was stunning, kind, considerate, one in a million. It’s easy to say that when you have lost someone but that’s genuinely what she was like,” he added.
The couple first met when they lived next door to each other on Cross Street, in Skipsea and had talked about getting married in the future.
Dave said Jennie’s parents were struggling to cope with this latest tragedy but were trying to stay strong for the sake of her little boy Charlie.
Jennie had been studying at Lincoln University’s Hull campus to become a social worker and was due to qualify this September.
