Jolene's Memorial
Donation protected
Kristin Jolene Marshall Herbst, 36, passed away, Saturday, March 6, 2021 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.
We all knew this day was coming, Jolene knew this day was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. She struggled with addiction for almost 20 years. She didn't want to be an addict. She hated herself for it. All Jo wanted was her babies back, and to live a normal life. She told us all about her plans every time we saw her. Imagine a reality where you know you're killing yourself and hurting the people around you but you cant stop. She wanted to stop, but she was a slave to the substance.
We don't want her life to be defined as being an addict, because she was so much more than that. She means so much to each of us and we would love to give her and her kids the proper memorial service they deserve. Sadly, we have to come out of pocket for everything because she did not have insurance. Our goal is $3,000 which will cover cremation, urn and services. Any amount will help and we would all be forever grateful.
Services will be 7:00PM, Thursday, March 11, 2021 at Betts & West Funeral Home. Visitation will be 5-7PM, on Thursday prior to the service
We love you Aunt Jo Jo and we're so glad you're not suffering anymore. I promise to tell your kids all about you, and what made their Mama so great.
Thank you for all your love and support during this difficult time for our family.
