Paying tribute, Ms Stone's family said: "Jane was a very caring and active member of the Monmouth community.

"Having been born and brought up in Monmouth she trained in London as a teacher, in which profession she was well respected and appreciated. In retirement and being a widow, she returned to her roots, involving herself with great enthusiasm in many aspects of Monmouth life.

"Jane was a well-loved member of the family and closely followed the lives of her great nieces and nephews."
