Hayley Jones
Died February 2006
Hayley Jones, who graduated with a 2:1 LLB (Hons) in Law in 2002, died after being hit by a moped in Wandsworth, London on 18 February 2006. She was only 24 years old.
Hayley spent her former years in Penzance, Cornwall, before coming to Southampton Institute (now Southampton Solent University) in 1999 to undertake a Law degree. After graduating in 2002, she moved to London to start an exciting new life in the City. She became Personal Assistant to the Chief Executive of The Legal Services Commission in 2005 and was saving to travel to Australia in 2007. Her employers have since set up an award in her memory for employees with outstanding achievements outside work.
Known for her enthusiasm for life, her fun personality and huge smile, Hayley lived life to the full. She brought a ray of sunshine into every person’s life that she met and was always laughing or smiling. She had many different friends and had time for anyone who crossed her path.
Hayley enjoyed running and had completed The Race for Life last year in aid of breast cancer. She was due to run in another race this year for children with leukaemia.
Having touched so many people’s lives, Hayley’s loss will mean there will always be a void for many of those who knew her. She will never be forgotten and her smile will live on forever.
