Jayne Soliman Obituary
A Bracknell ice-skating star has given birth to a healthy baby two days after she died from a brain haemorrhage.
Jayne Soliman was 25 weeks pregnant when she was rushed to hospital on Wednesday after collapsing at her Bracknell home.
The 41-year-old, who worked as a coach at the Bracknell Ice Skating Club, was pronounced brain dead later that evening but doctors decided to keep her alive for two days so her daughter could be delivered.
Young Aya Jayne was born by caesarian section at 2.34pm on Friday, weighing in at just two pounds and one and a half ounces but healthy.
Mrs Soliman was buried at Easthampstead Park Cemetery & Crematorium after a funeral at the Jamia Masjid mosque in Reading on Saturday, a day after her daughter was born.
Her colleagues at the Bracknell Ice-Skating Club have paid tribute to the popular coach and lessons have been cancelled until Wednesday.
The club's website also carried a message of sympathy for her husband Mahmood and Mrs Soliman's family.
A professional ice-skater who competed in international galas, Mrs Soliman went to bed last Wednesday afternoon complaining of a headache.
She later collapsed and was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital, where she died at 8pm.
She had suffered a brain haemorrhage, which had been caused by an aggressive tumour that had hit a major blood vessel.
She and Mr Soliman met in Dubai where she was teaching figure skating and the couple settled in Bracknell two years ago when they returned to the UK.

R.I.P Jayne.
Jayne coached me at Bracknell for yrs, she was a fantastic coach but was also your friend. Always smiling, laughing and joking she had a magnetic personality.
Her death came as a real shock and all I can feel is sadness as she was not only a lovely person but I'm sure she would have been a great Mum too.
My deepest sympathy goes out to baby Aya, her husband, family and anyone else close to her x

I worked with Jayne for many years at Bracknell Ice rink, she was a lovely lady. I was shocked to the core to hear she had passed away and under such tragic and sad circumstances. My sincere condolensces go out to her husband Moody and baby Aya Jayne, I know all she ever wanted was to be a wife and mother, its a terrible shame she will never get to fulfil her dream.

Such a wonderful lady who will be sadly missed by all.
Jayne was my Ice skating coach at Bracknell when I was six and I am now 25.
She was the best coach ever and taught me everything I know about the Ice.. For that I will always be thankful.
I was deeply shocked to hear this news. My thoughts are with Baby Aya Jayne, her husband and all her family and friends.

I may not have known you that well, but after having you teach me i realised what a gentle and kindhearted person you really were. I don't think I will ever find a person in this world to replace you.
You will always be remembered by everyone who's lives you were apart of. My thoughts will always be with your friends and family.
