Update: In Loving Memory of Jo
14 September 2026It is with great sadness that we share that Jo passed away peacefully this morning Monday 14th September with Blake by her side.
After enduring the unimaginable loss of her beloved son Dylan, Jo faced her own journey with remarkable courage, strength, and grace. Those who knew her will remember her generosity, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her family, friends, and community.
On behalf of Jo's family, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who donated, shared messages of support, provided meals, made phone calls, and surrounded Jo and Blake with love during an incredibly difficult time. Your kindness eased some of the financial burden and, more importantly, reminded them that they were not alone.
The support shown through this page has meant more than words can express. Jo knew she was cared for by a community that held her and Blake close during their darkest days.
We ask that you keep Blake and the wider family in your thoughts as they navigate another heartbreaking loss. A celebration of Jo's life is confirmed for 11am Friday at Newstead Chapel, Hamilton Park Cemetery.
With sincere thanks and appreciation,
Karen & Diane
