After a long, courageous fight with cancer, my cousin Courtney passed away on Monday November 17, 2025. She leaves behind her two beautiful children, Jaxson and Charlee, who were the very center of her world. Courtney fought every single day—through pain, exhaustion, and fear—because she wanted more time with them. Being their mom was her greatest joy, and their wellbeing was always her top priority.

If you knew Courtney, you knew her laugh—loud, bold, contagious, and impossible to miss. You knew her strength, her independence, and that unmistakable fire in her spirit. She lived authentically, refused to compromise who she was, and carried a fearless, give-no-fucks attitude that made her unforgettable. But beneath that toughness was a heart overflowing with love. She loved her children, and her entire family with everything she had.

Courtney taught us what unconditional love looks like. She taught us how to keep going, even when life hits harder than you think you can handle. Her children will forever remember her strength, her courage, and the deep, fierce love she had for them.

Now, we are trying to support the two people she loved more than anything. Funds raised will go directly to Jaxson and Charlee—to support them today, tomorrow, and in the years ahead as they navigate life without their mom.

Every donation, big or small, helps make a meaningful difference in their future. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is also a huge help.

Thank you for your love, your support, and for keeping Courtney’s spirit alive through the kindness you show her children.
