ⓘ About Jennifer Worth

The late Jennifer Worth was a British penwoman. Worth, whose birth name was Jennifer Lee, was born in September 1935 in Clacton-on-Sea upon Essex but she grew up in Buckinghamshire; she was a registered and a certified midwife. Jennifer Worth, who died of esophageal cancer in May 2011, at the age of 75, also doubled up as a musician and at one time served as a piano teacher. Jennifer Worth had other occupations, especially in her formative years. For instance, when she was freshly out of school, then aged fifteen, she studied shorthand writing and typing; these stood her in good stead at a secretarial job which she held in a grammar school, in the run-up to studying nursing. She started working as a nurse in 1950 and left nursing in 1973, in a bid to follow her musical ambitions.
