Mary Anne, Midland, MI—Mary Anne passed away on Sunday, December 29, leaving her family and community heartbroken. She was married to Jeff Garnett for 24 years, and together they navigated many challenges in life, from Jeff’s early health struggles to their modest lifestyle.
Jeff, who is now 65 years old and has lived with cerebral palsy and limited mobility for much of his life, is now coping with the loss of his wife and facing financial hardships. With no funds available to cover funeral expenses, Jeff is relying on a fundraiser to help with cremation costs, which are estimated at nearly $3,000. Additionally, a handicap-accessible van that Jeff depends on for mobility is in poor condition, and the family is also seeking funds for a replacement van with a lift, which would allow Jeff to maintain his independence despite his physical limitations.
April Douglass, Jeff’s sister, has set up a fundraising campaign titled "Jeff’s Lifeline: A Van and Final Goodbye." As of now, the campaign has raised $415, with donations coming in from kind-hearted individuals such as Wendy Nall, Lindsay Scott, and Shannon Robbins.
The community continues to show their support for Jeff, who has endured so much throughout his life. Mary Anne’s passing is a devastating loss, and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeff, his family, and all those who loved Mary Anne during this difficult time.
