| It has been announced today that Jane McGrath, beloved wife of former Australian cricketer Glenn and loving mother of James and Holly, passed away at her home this morning.
With Glenn and their two children by her side, Jane's life ended peacefully after a sudden decline in her health over the past week.
Jane, 42, had surgery earlier in the year and was recovering before complications set in.
Jane McGrath has left a lasting legacy through the McGrath Foundation, an organisation that is providing thousands of women hope - and support - in their fight against ****** cancer.
Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland said that all of Australian cricket was saddened to learn that Jane McGrath had died.
"On behalf of Cricket Australia, but also I am sure of cricket fans everywhere, I offer our sincere condolences to Glenn, James and Holly, as well as to Jane's broader family and many friends," he said.
"Jane was well-known, loved and admired throughout Australian cricket and was one of the most respected and admired members of the Australian cricket team family group during Glenn McGrath's playing days.
"All of us who met her were charmed by her dignity and good humour as she tackled her battle with her illness for more than 10 years.
"We also greatly respected the work she and Glenn did through their Foundation, work which brought and will continue to bring tangible comfort to so many others.
"It was typical of her to set aside her own concerns and to offer so much energy and hope to others touched by ****** cancer." |
