Support for Mary Beth Dutton's Final Farewell

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Lisa Dutton. We received the worst news ever today that no one wants to hear: my 97-year-old mother-in-law of 34 years passed away unexpectedly. My husband, her daughter, and I have been taking care of her for quite some time. Due to her breaking both hips and pelvis, her care became much harder on us. We are disabled, and her daughter has a chronically ill husband. Few other children just buried spouses and kids ,some struggling to get by their selves and are disabled their self with high medical expenses and such.We had to rely on the help of a nursing home, which was a difficult decision for us to make. It's been only just under 6 months since she moved there, and now she has passed. We are in dire need of support from friends, family, and brothers and sisters in Christ to lend a hand and help us give Ma the funeral she deserves. Even if it's only a graveside one, that's good enough for us. Please help, as we have only a few days to make this happen.

She was a WW2 Vet widow, a loving mother, grandmother, and part of 5 generations of great-grandchildren. She was the type of person who opened her home to an unnumbered amount of people and fed them. She provided them with food and warmth in the cold. If you were experiencing homelessness, you had a home with her, regardless of whether she knew you or not. She raised her children on the money she made from the cotton she picked, with those pork and bean cathead biscuits and a kid on her hip. She was a member of the Church of God here in our hometown. Due to her health, it's been a good while since she's been able to attend. She lived on a fixed income and always made it work somehow. If not, my husband and I covered whatever else she needed.

Being disabled and with her daughter's husband ill, times have kicked us in the gut with other family matters and emergencies. This came unexpectedly as she was doing so well. We are asking for any help in donations. If you can't donate, please lift us up in your prayers. If you don't want to donate on GoFundMe, you can call the funeral home handling this and pay them directly over the phone under her name. We are pushing to get her buried as soon as possible. Her name is Mary Beth Dutton, so donate to the funeral home under her name. The funeral home's name is Pruitt Funeral Home, 603 N Main Street, Honea Path, SC 29654. The phone number is 1-864-369-2461.
IM RUNNING THIS GO FUND ME TILL END OF MONTH TO HOPEFULLY GET HELP WE NEED WE HAVE NEW BALANCE POSTED AND SOME OF THAT WILL BEAPPLY FOR A START ON A MARKER God bless and thank you all for you help and prayers .
