Margo Shephard is Jack's mother and Christian's widow.
She was noticeably absent at Jack's wedding. ("Do No Harm") Christian admitted on that day that he had made the wrong choice by marrying Margo. ("The Watch")
When Christian went missing in Australia she convinced Jack to go after him, saying he wouldn't get to say no "after what he did", possibly in reference to Jack's causing Christian to lose his medical license. ("White Rabbit")
After the return of the Oceanic Six, she was awaiting Jack at the runway. She was extremely glad to see that he had returned safely. Afterward, she attended Christian's funeral. She left when it was over and returned home to wait for Jack. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")
