Jenny & Dave Marrs Experienced Several Losses in 2025
Jenny and her husband, Dave Marrs, have been open about the recent losses they experienced. The couple announced the deaths of Dave’s mother, Donna, Jenny’s grandmother, their dog, Dolly, and their close friends, Bob and Jill, in 2025.
Jenny reflected on losing her mother-in-law in a February 4 Instagram upload. In the caption of the post, Jenny said began to reminisce about Donna, who was a nurse, after she visited a friend in a hospital waiting room.
“The memories quite literally flooded over me in an instant. I felt like I was right back there, in those moments: the terrifying uncertainties, the joyful births, and the ordinary visits to Donna at work,” wrote Jenny in the caption. “The one person who was front and center in every single memory: my selfless, amazing, mother-in-law, Donna Marrs. She worked as a nurse, yes, but she spent her life being a caregiver to everyone around her.”
According to Jenny, her late mother-in-law “always showed up” for her children, who include Charlotte, Nathan, Ben, Sylvie, and Luke. Jenny also said that she missed Donna’s laugh, how she celebrated birthdays, how she “played cars with Luke (and all the grandkids before him),” how she enjoyed “fishing with the kids,” and her “phone calls.”
“The thing is, she always had the time for us. And, we didn’t get enough time with her. It wasn’t enough time,” continued Jenny, who began starring on HGTV in 2019. “I just miss her so deeply. This aching, hard world seems less joyful without her. She was sunshine and goodness and humor. She was kindness and generosity and beauty. She was every good thing a person could ever be. And, she left us too soon.”
