Industry Mourns Jessicurl Founder Jessica McGuinty

The founder of Jessicurl, Jessica McGuinty, has died. She was 47.

McGuinty died peacefully at home on June 10 with her husband, father, doctor and dedicated hospice team by her side. 

For years McGuinty had been dealing with a number of serious medical maladies. Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, an aggressive collection of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues with a scarcity of treatment options.

Even as she was dealing with her diagnosis ,she was able to see her brand flourish in United States and expand its footprint into Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and the EU.  She founded her company in 2002.

Over the last few years, McGuinty had taken more of a supporting role at the cmpany to concentrate on her health and left the success of Jessicurl in the capable hands of her hand-picked management team.  That team will continue to grow the brand’s presence locally and internationally with the newfound vigor of protecting her legacy and keeping her positive spirit alive in all our endeavors, the company announced in a statement.

A celebration of her life to be announced at a future date, according to the brand.
