Heartbreaking news from Pen-y-Bont Bro Morgannwg. Caroline Jones, who just stood as an independent candidate in the Senedd election, is now facing a severe health battle. Diagnosed with severe sepsis, Caroline is receiving palliative care, much to the shock of her family and friends.
Caroline’s husband, Alun Williams, shared an emotional message announcing this sudden development. “With heavy hearts, we share that Caroline is presently in palliative care. This news hit us very quickly, and our focus is on keeping Caroline comfortable, surrounded by love,” he wrote.
Caroline, once known as Reform UK’s ‘Wales Manager’, had stepped away from her previous political affiliations to run independently. Her dedication to the people was evident, and this unexpected turn is felt deeply by those who know her.
Messages of love and support have been pouring in from friends, family, constituents, and politicians alike. Owain Clatworthy, County Councillor for Pyle, Kenfig Hill, and Cefn Cribwr, expressed his sadness on hearing about his friend and former colleague’s health situation.
Alun added: “Caroline’s passion for helping others was unmatched, and she’ll be sadly missed by many. We ask for privacy at this time as we navigate this painful period.”
Our thoughts are with Caroline’s family during this incredibly difficult time. She is in the hearts of many who admired her vibrant spirit and dedication. Sending love and strength to all who are touched by this news.
