Courtney & Lainy Maynard

Courtney Marie Maynard, 27 (Courey to friends and family) was given her wings August 4, 2023. Courtney was born on December 23, 1995.

Continuing her memory and legacy are her two daughters, Annalise Rose Marie and Violet Ray, alongside her loving husband of 5 years, Thomas A. Maynard. Courey's ultimate focus in life was to give her children an all-encompassing love, a goal she succeeded in every minute of every day. A love that cannot be described, but needed to be experienced. Courey enjoyed motorcycle rides with her husband, gardening, video games, alpacas, funny jokes, crafting, crocheting, and her new hobby canning. Above all else, she loved her family and friends and spending time with them. Courey brought us all together and many others through her officiating, building families and futures with a passion only she could provide. And yet, though busy building entire generations, Courey never failed to enjoy every sunset, and every sunflower that existed in her world.

Elaina Ruth Maynard also gained her wings at 25 weeks, perfect in every way. Though the rest of us didn’t get to know her, she will always be loved and remembered as Mama’s girl, as she was destined to be. Lainy was named after her eldest surviving cousin Airianna, unconditionally loved and NEVER forgotten.

They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time… Listen to us always saying your name and remembering the good times. Like you always listened to us before. We love you forever and always Princess.

We are asking for help with expenses while Tommy is off work. Giving him the time he needs to grieve the loss of his wife and daughter and explain it to his young daughters would be a gift beyond measure. Tommy and Courtney had planned on homeschooling the kids and expenses he will incur when he goes back to work with childcare and educational assistants will accumulate quickly. Though Courtney is gone her dreams are not and they are still very much alive and in reach for her girls.
