**Scottish Comedian Janey Godley Passes Away After Battle with Ovarian Cancer**

Beloved Scottish comedian Janey Godley, whose humorous takes on political events brought joy to many, has passed away. Godley had been battling ovarian cancer since her diagnosis in 2021. In a heartbreaking announcement made in September, she revealed that chemotherapy was no longer an option for her.

Godley enjoyed a long career in stand-up comedy, but she surged into the spotlight during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her sharp and entertaining impersonations of Scotland's political leader Nicola Sturgeon's coronavirus briefings won her widespread acclaim and a new legion of fans.

In the United States, Godley might be best remembered for her bold statement in 2016 when she held up a sign reading "Trump is a (expletive)" outside former President Donald Trump's Turnberry Golf Resort. Demonstrating her signature defiant humor, Godley revisited that moment in September by sharing a photo of herself holding a shirt that read, "Trump is still a (expletive)," captioning it, "The gift that keeps giving!"

Upon her passing, Godley’s daughter, Ashley Storrie, took to social media to share a heartfelt message with her mother’s followers. "I wanted to tell you face to face because it felt very much what she would have wanted," Storrie said. "She went peacefully and I want to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice."

Storrie expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from Godley's fans, saying, "I believe in my heart of hearts that she felt every bit of love you sent to her. I think it kept her going, genuinely we got her longer because of all the support and the love in the world."

Janey Godley's wit and spirit will be remembered by many as a beacon of resilience and humor during difficult times.
