We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jeanne Osborn, our Treasurer and cherished member of our nonprofit board.

Jeanne joined our board in the summer of 2023 after numerous conversations with several board members to ensure her time and talents would be a good fit for North Port Forward.

Her unwavering dedication, compassion, and leadership inspired all of us and significantly impacted our mission to inform, educate and inspire the community.

Jeanne’s exceptional fundraising skills helped secure vital resources for our United Tours and Community Conversations, and her insightful contributions as a member of the North Port Economic Development Advisory Board were instrumental in driving positive change in our community.

She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and resilience that will continue to guide our work. We will remember her not only for her contributions but also for the warmth and joy she brought to our organization.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Steve and their family during this difficult time.
