Mum, 45, with 'biggest smile' collapses and dies suddenly after chest pains

A mum collapsed and died suddenly after milking the cows at her farm.

Jennifer Moseley and her husband David, from Caverswall, Staffordshire, had just returned home from a mini-break to Llandudno, north Wales, when tragedy struck.

David, 48, said his wife, 45, had been complaining about chest pains for a couple of weeks and doctors believed she had a strained muscle.

However, when mum-of-four Jennifer's health seemingly began to improve they managed to get away on holiday, reports StokeonTrentLive.

David has been questioning whether medics missed something which led to his partner's death on June 23.

He said Jennifer had been milking the cows and then looking after her beloved horses when she told a farm employee she "felt unwell, turned around to go in and just collapsed on the yard".

When she'd previously gone to see her doctor weeks before, she was given a blood test but David believes they should have given her a scan.

"I don’t know what they missed, she had so much pain she could hardly stand up. She was delirious," he said.

“They gave her some painkillers and when she came home she got better and better.

"We had just been to Llandudno for two days. She didn’t feel unwell on the holiday. She looked radiant, to be honest. She always did do no matter what she was doing."

Jennifer and David met in a pub in Hanley in 1998 and went on to have four boys together - James, Edward, Harry and Jack who were born between 2002 and 2008.

David recalled how his eventual spouse "stood out to me" due to her smile when he first met her.

The couple had recently launched their milkshake parlour, Caverswall Creamery, at their farm in Roughcoat Lane where they keep 150 cows.

David described Jennifer as the "backbone" of their dairy farm which they had taken on following the retirement of his parents Derek and Joyce Moseley.

He said: “She would do everything, she wouldn’t turn her nose away from anything. She was milking the night she died. Feeding, calving, anything you asked her to do she’d do it.

“She was so busy here, whatever happened, if anything went wrong she’d always smile, there was never ever any problem.

“It’s strange, recently, she’s seen quite a few people that she hasn’t seen for a long time.

"It was almost as though she was meant to see them. She got on with everybody, she had the biggest smile you could ever imagine. Nobody ever had a bad word to say about her and people in the village loved her.”

Their eldest son James added: “Her glass was always half full.”
