'Caring' woman who wanted a baby found dead at home by husband after four miscarriages

A woman who had worked at nurseries and suffered four miscarriages as she tried for a baby was found dead by her husband, an inquest heard.

Recruitment consultant Jemma Zoezee, of Cae Ddol, Abergele, died at her home opposite Gwrych Castle in Conwy, North Wales, on December 16 last year.

Anthonio Zoezee, her husband of five years, said in a statement that she was “one of the kindest, caring, yet confident young women I have ever met. She was full of energy.”

They lived in a new-build home and his wife, “the sweetest girl I will ever know”, dreamed of travelling the world.

“She left a mark on all she met,” added Mr Zoezee.

Jemma adored her niece Ava-Skye (Gofundme)

Jemma had suffered from depression and the anguish of four babies in miscarriages.

Coroner John Gittins said: ”Given the particular circumstances I am satisfied it was probable her actions were with the intention of ending her life on that day.”

He expressed his “sincere condolences” to Mrs Zoezee’s family, who did not attend the inquest.

A conclusion of suicide was recorded atthe inquest held at Ruthin, North Wales.

A GoFundMe page raised more than £16,000.

Asa Roberts, her heartbroken brother, wrote on it: ”On Fri 16th December 2022, my little Jem lost her battle with mental health.

“I am so proud of Jem for how hard she fought to be happy.. in the end, her sadness was too much to bear.

“The money raised will help Jem's husband Tony to cover funeral costs and we will donate the rest to a miscarriage charity that was close to Jem's heart Tommys.org."

She continued: “Jem adored children and always has done. She's been a part of so many people's childhood from her Nanny jobs over the years, working in nurseries and then she met the (second) love of her life, our daughter, Ava-Skye.

“Kids brought so much happiness to Jem's life. The pain of losing her babies was too much for her. Jem, we love you so much. We miss you everyday. Ava still asks to call 'jemjem'.

“We will never be the same without you. We wake up every morning hoping this was just a horrible dream. You're not hurting anymore, we all wish we could have done more. Love you so much Jem, your brother Ace.”
