Losing George Earle in December 2022 was truly a difficult time for us all. Despite the heavy hearts we carried, Brenda Earle was able to keep the spirit alive by continuing Marshfield Community Christmas in 2023, truly grateful for the love and support from friends and family that made it possible.
Throughout 2023-2024, Brenda faced her own health challenges but still found a way to keep MCC going.
Tragically, both Brenda and her father passed away just days apart in May 2024. After Brenda's passing, Erik suddenly became the president of Marshfield Community Christmas. Since then, we have established a strong board, including members of George Earle's family, Tyler & Kelsea Judge, to continue this cherished tradition.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support and generous donations.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!
