Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Jo-Marie McBean, age 85, passed away peacefully at her home in Vero Beach, Florida, on June 15, 2026.
Born on May 10, 1941, in Gwanda, Rhodesia, Jo-Marie lived a remarkable life marked by resilience, determination, and grace. She spent many years in Plantation, Florida, before making her home in Vero Beach. Throughout her career as a real estate broker, she built lasting relationships and earned the respect of colleagues and clients alike.
Jo-Marie was an active member of the Plantation and Hollywood Garden Clubs and found joy in cultivating beauty through her love of gardening and community involvement.
A woman of extraordinary strength and independence, Jo-Marie faced life’s challenges with courage and unwavering resolve. She was a guiding light to those who knew and loved her—a strong, spirited, and sometimes stubborn woman whose presence could fill a room. Her determination, wisdom, and fierce love for her family made her a powerful force of nature whose impact will be felt for generations.
She is survived by her sons, Lachlan John McBean and Duncan M. McBean; and her cherished grandchildren, Felicia, Farah, Duncan D, and Lachlie.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lachlan McBean.
Jo-Marie will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all whose lives she touched.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be mailed to 2169 42nd Court SW, Vero Beach, FL 32968.
Arrangements are entrusted to Thomas S. Lowther Funeral Home & Crematory in Vero Beach.
