Our Mum

Our much loved mother, Josiane Damman-Loche, was a resilient, independent, wonderful and courageous woman who passed away on the 23rd of September 2021.

Mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019 and we were all lucky enough to have her with us for another 2 years.

Mum loved life and helping those around her, so in lieu of flowers and in memory of mum, we ask that her loved ones donate to the Garvan Institute in hope their research regarding pancreatic cancer continues to be funded and developed so that other pancreatic cancer patients have a better chance of survival and quality of life.

Thank you
Melodie and Kalia

I have had no dearer friend, no closet confidante and no better teach than my beloved Josiane. I will forever be changed for the better for having known her warmth, kindness, generosity and friendship. I will miss her dearly, and thank God for having placed her and her two beautiful daughters, Mélodie and Kahlia, in my lofe.

Melodie and Kahlia, I met Josiane only once and WOW did she pack a bunch! I saw in her where you guys get your strength, poise and curiosity in life. I know you’ll miss her deeply but she can rest in peace knowing she brought up two incredible human beings xxx

So many of us will miss your Mum. She faced this challenge with such dignity and bravery. "We will keep on speaking her name". ( lyrics from Hymn to her, by The Pretenders)
