Jack & Marilyn Andrews Family Fund

Siblings Bev Ford, Steve Andrews, Patty Carwile and Debbie Herringshaw created this donor-advised fund in 2021 as a Christmas present for their parents, Jack and Marilyn Andrews. As the fund grows, Jack will be able to recommend grants to nonprofit organizations and charitable causes important to the couple.

Marilyn (1938-2026) passed following a brief battle with cancer. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she was equally dedicated to her community. She volunteered for more than 30 years at the Marion Palace Theatre and previously served with Marion General Hospice. A longtime member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Waldo, she also gave her time to church activities and community suppers. Marilyn’s generosity and willingness to support worthwhile causes inspired her children to establish the family fund, ensuring her commitment to Marion’s nonprofits and charitable organizations will continue for generations.
