Dear friends and family,

With a heavy heart, we bid farewell to beloved Marionette Gaither, who recently passed on Wednesday, 6/7/23. Marionette was a caring mother, sister, friend, and wife who touched the lives of those around her. She leaves behind her husband Michael, two daughters Angela and Barbara, and grandson Romeo.

Marionette was a strong, faithful child of God who brought family, friends, and even hesitant strangers together with her firecracker of a personality and warm, sincere heart. She showed her love, talents, and appreciation - loud or quiet - through amazing food, crafts, and jokes that connected to her loved ones. Marionette was a strong, curious, joking, woman and a fighter until her last moments.

We are all devastated by Marionette’s loss and were not prepared for the high cost of a funeral service. We want to give Marionette the memorial she deserves, to honor her memory and say our last goodbyes. We're currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of the viewing, memorial service, casket, flowers, and burial that has come out to more than $10,000.

Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help our family during this difficult time. Thank you for your thoughts and generosity.
