I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for this wonder women! Farewell my mentor, farewell my friend.
It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of Jane Axon last night.
We have lost a friend, a colleague, a mentor, and an inspiration.
Our thoughts are with her family, her friends, the equine and veterinary communities, and all those who knew her across the diverse facets of her life.
She was loved by many people in many places.
Jane came to Scone in 1999 to take up the role of Director of the Scone Equine Hospital Intensive Care Unit at Clovelly Stables.
From the moment she walked in the door, she was an in integral part of the practice and over the past 25 years, she has remained a loyal friend, part of our team and one of us.
Her contribution to the development of Scone Equine Hospital cannot be overstated. She is one of the pillars on which it has been built.
Jane’s knowledge, dedication to her patients and clients and her determination were known by everyone in the Hunter equine and Australian veterinary communities.
She was recognised around the country and throughout the world as an expert in her field of equine medicine and in particular, neonatal care.
Jane’s dedication and patience have guided and shaped the careers of many equine veterinarians and touched the lives of many people.
A humble soul who made the most of every opportunity she was given, she strove to always do her personal best and to help others take their opportunities.
Those of us who knew her, worked with her, and loved her consider ourselves very fortunate that she was part of our lives.
An example and an inspiration to us all.
We miss her already.
Vale Jane
