Jo (Josephine) Egan

Lovely Jo. I was so saddened to hear of Jo’s passing. Such a kind, talented and fun friend. I had the pleasure of knowing Jo from early days in Matrix. And Jo shared in our yearly Navan workshop for over twenty years. So missed. Condolences and love to all her family.

To Jo's daughters and extended family. This is such sad news. I met Jo in early 1978. Jo had a gift for friendship. She brightened up so many lives with her friendship and positive outlook. She was a wonderful host and cook when I visited later in Castleknock and Baldoyle. Jo was a great letter writer and I am so glad at her successes. Her death is such a shock to me. Jo lived her life to the full and that is a comfort to her family whom she loved. Jo will be remembered fondly for her ability to include so many people in her life as friends. When I was with her it was as if she knew me all her life. Jo will live on in the memory of us all. With Profound Sympathy from Teresa [Terry].

My sincere condolences to Jo's family. I have just heard about this tragic loss. Jo was a talented and generous artist who I had the pleasure of getting to know through Irish Theatre Institute. She is a great loss to the theatre community and will be remembered fondly and frequently through the work she made and the artists she supported. RIP

Lots of Love always you will be Sadly Missed By me and All the Family Rip Jo

So deeply sorry for the loss of your mother Antonia. Sincere sympathy to you and your family. Thinking of you.

We are so very shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of dear Jo.
Our hearts go out to her wonderful daughters Sinead, Rachel, Kitty and Antonia that she spoke so proudly of and her dear grandsons and sisters and brothers and all who loved Jo.
We couldn't believe our luck in meeting and becoming friends with Jo in Clonbur. What a truly generous, creative, bright and beautiful person she was. She was radiant and such a good laugh.
Thankyou for the wonderful celebration of her life that her family and friends put together for her. Your strength and radiance that day mirrored your dear Mam Jo, she will be minding you all every day. May you find strength in the love she has for you all to weather the terrible loss.

From the first moment I met Jo she was amazing, thoughtful and kind. There are no words to offer how sorry I am for her family and wide circle of friends on her sudden passing. I hope you all may be comforted in the love Jo showed you.

Our deepest sympathy to all the Egan Family.
May Jo rest in peace

Sinéad, Rachel, Kitty, Antonia and Jo’s extended family - I am so desperately sorry for your loss.

I have been staggered by the news since I heard. Jo was a teacher, friend, mentor and colleague to me over many years. Courageous, generous, passionate and kind, she was gentle but tough when she needed to be. It was always simply about doing work that mattered. She will forever be an inspiration and will occupy a particular place in my heart. I would be a lesser person without her and I am very grateful to have known her. She will be sorely missed by many.

My love and deepest sympathies to all the family.

Sincere sympathies to you all on the loss of your mum Jo. May she rest in peace.

Deepest Condolences & Sincerest Sympathies to Jo’s Family & Friends.

Jo was a strong, open, honestly caring & inspirational woman, a beautiful human being who helped many from within the Shankill Community get involved in the Arts, but most importantly I feel honoured to be able to say she was my friend.

Thank you Jo x

Good Night & God Bless.

Antonia, Cillian, Rian and family, I was so shocked and sorry to hear of the tragic loss of Jo.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and sending deepest condolences. May she rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Antonia and family. We are very sorry to hear of your loss. May Jo rest in peace.

Jo you helped me in ways that I will never forget. You made me believe again too and showed me that light always wins over darkness. I will never forget your warmth and your beautiful smile. You will be so very missed. Thank you Jo xxx

Sinéad, Kitty and Family,

So sorry to hear the sad news about your Mum (RIP). You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Mind yourselves. Laura x

To Jo’s daughters, what a beautiful farewell you gave your Mam yesterday, befitting for the free spirit she was. I knew your Mam from CAF days in Belfast. She had a rare gift of making everyone feel valued and worthy and I have cherished memories of my many conversations with her, always open, honest, kind and gentle and with a radiant smile and ready wit. The loss of such a rare soul to this world is immeasurable, above all for you, her greatest loves. I hope you will always feel her strength to bear it.

To beautiful, luminous Jo, thank you for the gift of yourself and for the precious memories you have left behind. Your light could never be extinguished. It will shine on here and wherever your spirit has flown and I hope we’ll meet again some sunny day. Love, Joan XO.

Sorry to hear such sad and tragic news, my thoughts are with all the family

I have fond memories of a holiday in Clonbur with Jo and Julian. So sorry to hear about the tragic death of Josephine may the Lord grant you all strength to cope with your loss. May she rest in peace and put on plays in heaven.

Sincere condolences to you all on the loss of your mum.

Jo and I worked together at the end of 2020 and it was a real pleasure. I was so impressed by her passion, energy and integrity and looked forward to getting to know her better after her recent move to the West of Ireland.

So sad to hear this devastating news God bless you all at this terrible time in your life's.

Dear Sinead, Rachel, Kitty, Antonia and all,
I was deeply shocked to hear the tragic news on Stephen's day. I met Jo 'back in the day' when we both worked with the Howth Theatre group. When I first met her, I was more than amazed by this brilliant woman who instantly inspired and challenged me. I had never met anyone like her before that, she lit up our lives. It was always joyous and stimulating whenever we met. Although we lost touch in recent years Jo always had a big place in my heart. My heart goes out to you, her lovely girls, what a great loss to you and yours. I couldn't make the service but watched the live stream, a beautiful tribute to Jo, Take good care of yourselves, love Antoinette.

Sinead, Rachel, Kitty & Antonia,
My sincere condolences on the tragic loss of your mum Jo. Jo was an amazing woman in every way, a true free spirit.
