Funeral services for two Grenada mothers that were killed in a head-on collision on the way to a softball tournament in New Albany two weeks ago have been scheduled.
Jennifer Simpson Campbell, 32, will be laid to rest Sunday afternoon, June 22, in Woodlawn Memorial Park in Grenada. Services will begin at 3 p.m. at Emmauel Baptist Church with the Rev. Truman Scarborough and the Rev. Eugene Heimbach officiating. The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until service time on Sunday at Emmanuel Baptist Church.
Services for Misty Montgomery, 44, will follow 24 hours later – at 3 p.m. on Monday, June 23 – at Friendship Baptist Church in Grenada. Bro. John Pigg, the Rev. Tim McCaffrey and Bro. Ben McAnally will officiate. Burial will follow in Grenada Memorial Garden. The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until service time on Monday at Friendship Baptist Church.
Montgomery and Campbell both sustained fatal injuries after the 2013 Ford Expedition Montgomery was driving collided with a 2015 Dodge Ram the morning of Saturday, June 7. The women, along with two minors, were traveling east on Hwy. 30 in Lafayette County when the two vehicles collided. The Ram was being driven by a minor from Myrtle.
The two minors — Khloe and Joley — from Grenada, each a daughter of one of the deceased, sustained serious injuries in the crash and were transported to a local hospital where they have undergone multiple surgeries and therapy over the last two weeks. Multiple fundraisers have been set up to assist the family with medical costs.
McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada is in charge of arrangements.
