Story

Jo was so many things to so many people - a friend, colleague and relative - and excelled at all of these.  She travelled through life with her own brand of compassion, caring and fun.

So was strong, brave, compassionate, kind, funny and caring.  She always wanted to be a nurse, and excelled at every level, from attaining a prestigious gold medal in her final year, to helping the Red Cross with the crisis in Bangladesh in 1972.  She become one of the first specialist nurses, and was always passionate about nurses pay conditions and rights.  In 1986, she was awarded a Churchill travelling fellowship to look at changes in nurses' conditions of service around the world.

Wherever Jo went...abroad or at home, she was always interested in people, compassionate about their health issues, kind and generous.  During her retirement in Bath she became a custody visitor, helped in the food bank and with the soup run for homeless

Jo was keen that people in crisis were recognised, and asked anyone generous to donate to help support the World Food Programme.  They work to deliver life-saving aid to millions of people living on the edge of survival, alongside community members, restoring job opportunities, building critical infrastructures, and developing education programs.  In fragile settings, every day brings new opportunities and fresh challenges.

On behalf of Jo's family, we thank you for your support
