Horbury’s Jean invites all of her foster children to 90th birthday celebrations
For more than three decades, Jean Evans dedicated her life to giving children a loving home.
The foster mum from Horbury, opened her home to hundreds of children from 1960 to 1996 with late husband, Barry, who sadly passed away in 2004.
Now, her loved ones want to give something back by reuniting her with as many of them as possible.
Now living in Middlestown, Jean turns 90 on Friday, August 14, and will be celebrating with a party at Horbury WMC.
Family friend, Claire Rodgers said: ““Some of her foster children still call her mum and are considered part of Jean’s family.
"She must have fostered hundreds over the years.
"The dedication and care shown by Jean to everyone around her is a testament to just how amazing she is.
“She is well-loved and respected by many in and around Horbury and, with a little help from her family, she made a TikTok video in an effort to trace as many of the children she has cared for."

Claire said: “Jean is so humble and I genuinely believe she is one of the most selfless ladies I have ever met.”
