Financial support needed - Marianne Brent’s Family

Please see update along with memorial information below:

Dear Friends and Community, please join us today in raising funds for the family of Marianne DeCrane-Brent to help offset daunting medical bills accrued over the last two years as well as loss of income.

On July 26, 2023, at 1:26 AM, Marianne surrendered her courageous two-year struggle with Colo-Rectal Cancer (secondary diagnosis Lymphoma). She will be deeply missed here but her family is rejoicing her arrival home across the veil.

She was diagnosed in 2021 and over the past two years, she faced intense and extensive radiation, chemotherapy, multiple treatments and surgeries that resulted in astronomical debt due to medical expenses and loss of income.

Marianne was well-respected in the community for her work as an educational therapist and as a champion of special education. Without hesitation, she was the first person to reach out to others and offer her time and passion to all in need of help. She was an amazing and loyal friend.

Now, we are reaching out to the larger community and asking for support for the Brent family as they grieve, heal and reconstruct a new life without their universe of Marianne. We are so very grateful for your kind contribution and friendship during this time.

Your generous donation will lend much-needed relief to her husband, Tim, and two sons, Isaac and Eli. Our goal is to help ease the financial stressors they are now experiencing. Any amount you are able to give is sincerely appreciated.

If inspired, kindly share this post on your own FaceBook page, Instagram or social media platforms.
