As they grieved her death, the Northeast Florida animal welfare community also celebrated the life of a well-known nonprofit veterinarian killed late Monday night in a traffic accident in St.Johns County.
Brienne Marie LeMay, 37, was head of surgery at First Coast No More Homeless Pets, a nonprofit that runs two veterinary clinics in Jacksonville and has been a leader in the area s no-kill efforts. She had been on staff there since July 2016.
LeMay was a valued member of our team and an important part of the FCNMHP family, according to First Coast s Tuesday Facebook post announcing her death. She touched so many animals and people with her work and her passion for our mission, according to the post. Words cannot express our grief at this time. Our thoughts are with Dr. LeMay’s family and the many people in our community she touched with her work and friendship.
