“As her cousins, we will forever cherish the time and memories we shared with Jessica.
“Her sense of humour, together with her cheerful and vibrant personality, will always be remembered and treasured by our family.
“The funds we have raised will be given to her parents to help contribute towards her medical expenses.
“Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported Jessica and our family through this incredibly difficult time.”
Their fundraiser has raised A$45,322 ($54,555) since it was set up.
The WPGA Tour of Australasia said they were deeply saddened by the teenager’s death.
“Jessica was an outstanding young talent who made a significant impression in her short time on the Tour, winning the Ford Women’s NSW Open Regional Qualifying Event at Moss Vale in February in just her fifth professional start,” a statement from the tour read.
“She had earned her place on the WPGA Tour through Qualifying School at the end of 2025, following an outstanding amateur career.

“The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the WPGA Tour of Australasia and the broader Australian golf community are with Jessica’s family, friends and all those who knew and loved her at this incredibly difficult time.”
Jessica turned professional in November, having won the Queensland Amateur title during her amateur career, and finished 13 under par in the 2026 Ford Women’s NSW Open Regional Qualifying Event.
“I’m so happy, I can’t even put it into words,” Jessica said to Golf NSW after the victory.
“It still doesn’t feel real yet. I did not expect this at all — big surprise.”
