Godley has been awarded an honorary degree from the University Of Glasgow, which her daughter said had ‘brought her so much joy’ in her final days.
In a post on the 63-year-old’s X account, BBC Radio Scotland presenter Ashley Storrie revealed that her mother had been awarded an honorary degree from the University Of Glasgow, which she said had “brought her so much joy” in her final days.
“This has brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life. Janey is so honoured and I am so immensely proud of her. Congratulations doctor Godley.” Last month, she cancelled her forthcoming tour this autumn due to her stage four ovarian cancer, which had been kept at bay through NHS treatment over the last few years and had returned with a few added complications.
She went on to say she was “getting to near the end of it” and that “it’s really difficult to speak about this and say to people”.
