Betty Fox Terry Fox Legacy. Betty Fox, Terry's mother, dies: family. Betty Fox, the mother of one of Canada's most beloved heroes, who nurtured Terry Fox's legacy into one of international action and inspiration in the fight against cancer, has died.

Her family said at the beginning of June that Fox was seriously ill and in a hospice, though their statement said reports she was suffering from cancer were incorrect.

On Friday morning, the family posted a notice on the Terry Fox Foundation website saying she had died a few hours earlier.
