It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden loss of Jo-Anne, 72, who passed at home with her loving family by her side. She was predeceased by her parents, Reg and Elizabeth Phillips, and her beloved grandson Mikey. Jo-Anne is remembered by her husband David, her daughters Denise, Michelle (Fisher), Gina, and Deanna (Ron), and her grandchildren Andrea (Jason), Danielle, Nathan, and Evan (Kim). She was a dedicated sister to Diane (Don) and Mike (Debbie), and a wonderful Aunt to her nieces and nephews.
Jo-Anne grew up in the Cowichan Valley and lived in Cowichan Bay for 48 years. She maintained many lifelong friendships and was well-loved by anyone who knew her. Family was at the centre of Jo-Anne's life and Jo-Anne was at the centre of her family. She never missed an opportunity to support her loved ones and celebrate their accomplishments. She was passionate about creating a loving home, where her family spent many holidays laughing and enjoying her home cooked meals. Jo-Anne was a skilled gardener, memory keeper, and sentimental gift giver. She will be remembered for being selfless, genuine, and for having a great sense of humour.
The family would like to thank the attending paramedics for their dedicated efforts and care of Jo-Anne.
In lieu of flowers, donations could be made to The Cowichan Cat Rescue or The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 15th, 2025 at 2:00pm at the New Life Baptist Church, 1839 Tzouhalem Rd, Duncan.
