My wife, Jennifer Piercey, who has died aged 79 from amyloidosis, was an actor who had a crowded career for more than 40 years on stage, television and radio. She worked with Alan Ayckbourn in the West End and Laurence Olivier at the National Theatre, toured the UK in rep and played Nicholas Lyndhurst’s mother in TV’s The Two of Us.
Jennifer was born in Aberdeen, where her father, Leslie Thompson, was a civil engineer. Her mother, Elsie (nee Piercey), was a former fashion model.
