Zoe, 53, had recently taken a break from her presenting duties on BBC Radio 2 to care for her mother and spend precious time with family. During her absence, Gaby Roslin stepped in to host her shows, while fans sent messages of support and understanding.
Those close to Zoe say she wanted to be fully present for her mother during her final weeks — not as a broadcaster, but simply as a daughter.
Gratitude Amid Grief
“We are so grateful for the care Mum received and for all the kindness shown to our family. My brother Jamie and I will never forget the warmth and love we’ve been surrounded by.”
Zoe’s words carried the tenderness of a daughter who had walked a difficult path but found grace in the shared humanity of others.
