It is with a heavy heart we share that Chelsea Ince passed away early Sunday morning September 3rd, 2023 at the age of 42, after a long battle with cancer. Everyone who knew Chelsea would tell you she was a bright light that we were fortunate to have in our lives as a mother, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, and teacher. She was one of the strongest, kindest, and most selfless people one could have the chance to get to know. There was no one more stoic than Chelsea, fighting with everything she had and at the same time ensuring those in her life felt loved and cared for beyond measure.

Going head on in her fight, Chelsea was the biggest cheerleader to her two boys, encouraging Josh and Charlie to live out their dreams and be the best they could be. No matter how hard the day may have been for her, she would be there supporting her family in all their sports and activities.

Young families are not prepared for this type of loss. The present and future costs are often overwhelming and can put additional stress on a coping family. Sophie and I are family friends fundraising for Jordan Ince and sons. Collectively, we as a community can show support and care for the Ince Family by assisting with their immediate and future expenses.

Jordan, Josh and Charlie are currently surrounded by family as they work through this difficult time together. We know Jordan appreciates all the offers of help he’s received thus far, and is grateful for your support and help to ease the burden in this difficult time. Their gratitude can never be expressed in words.

Anything you are able to contribute is sincerely appreciated.

Jackie Keefe and Sophie O’Sullivan
