Businesswoman and jewelry designer Jenna Clifford has passed on at 65 years old after a battle with cancer.
In a statement issued by her three daughters, Shayna, Chanelle and Summer, Clifford passed away on Tuesday night. “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share that our beloved mother, Jenna Clifford, has passed away. Earlier this year, mom was diagnosed with cancer at an advanced stage,” her family said. “She undertook treatment with unwavering courage, grace, dignity, strength and endless gratitude. Sadly, the severity of her illness meant that she and we knew that her remaining time with us would be limited. On the evening of 20 May 2025, surrounded by her family and completely enveloped in our love, she passed away peacefully.”
The family said, over the past few weeks, they have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, warmth and love from so many people who have drawn close to their mom. “We want to thank the doctors, nurses and the entire medical team at Morningside Medi Clinic who cared for mom with such compassion,” the statement reads. “And to each of you who sent messages, shared memories, held us in your hearts and prayed for mom – we want you to know how truly grateful we are for your kindness and care.”
