The Glasgow comic regularly spoke fondly about her husband of over 40 years, and even took time to show her love for him shortly after receiving some tragic news.
Even as she looked to the final few days of her life, Janey Godley made sure she was there for her devoted husband, and love of her life, Sean Storrie.
Speaking candidly with fans via X, Glasgow-born Janey reflected: "It is devastating news to know I'm facing end of life, but we all come to an end sometime." Right up until the end, however, Janey and Sean showed each other support, staying true to the vows they'd made so many decades before. Even when she knew the end was near, Janey took a moment to pay tribute to her loyal spouse on September 27, to mark their 44th wedding anniversary. Sadly, it was to be their final one together.
The comedian has previously spoken about what it's like to live with a husband on the autistic spectrum, offering a personal insight into the ups and downs of her home life. In a touching article penned for Medium, Janey told readers: "He faked to the world that he was regular member of society and inside waited for the world to catch him being the fake he always felt.
"When asked to describe his Autism he said, 'Every day I fight with emotions and feelings I can't control, I suppose it's like being homosexual and trying to pretend am straight to the world, or I feel like my skin doesn't feel right and my brain wants to take me into a place I can't get out of.
