The family of Jo McGregor sadly announced her passing over the weekend, the much-loved local passing away peacefully and surrounded by love following a brave and lengthy battle with cancer.
Known for her incredible kindness, her community work, and friendly personality, Jo will be deeply missed by her many friends—and especially by her family, including husband Shane and their sons Jordan and Jay.
Jo’s family posted this message:
“After a long and courageous battle with cancer, we are heartbroken to share that our beloved Jo passed away on Saturday, June 29th. Surrounded by her loved ones—a reflection of the life she lived.
Jo was a cherished part of our community. Her warmth, generosity, and sense of humour touched the lives of so many. Whether it was lending a hand, offering a kind word, or showing up when it mattered most, Jo was always there.”
A close friend has since set up a GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden on her family as they navigate this incredibly difficult time.
The funds raised will go directly toward covering Jo’s funeral costs and related expenses, allowing her loved ones to focus on grieving and honouring her memory without added financial stress.
“Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page with others who knew and loved Jo.
Let’s come together to support the family as they celebrate Jo’s beautiful life and say goodbye.”
So far, the GoFundMe page has raised over $17,000 toward its goal of $20,000.
Thoughts and prayers are with Jo’s family and close friends. As they navigate this challenging time, the arms of the whole community are wrapped around them.
