Transgender woman dies suddenly, presented at funeral in open casket as a man

[UglyGreed]

Jennifer Gable, an Idaho customer service coordinator for Wells Fargo, died suddenly Oct. 9 on the job at age 32. An aneurysm, according to stunned friends.

Just as shocking, they say, when they went to Gable’s funeral in Twin Falls, Idaho, and saw her in an open casket — hair cut short, dressed in a suit and presented as a man.

“I am disgusted,” Stacy Dee Hudson posted on Facebook. “A great and dear friend’s mom went to the funeral today. It was not closed casket. They cut her hair, suit on. How can they bury her as geoff when she legally changed her name. So very sad. Jen you will be missed and people who know you know that you are at peace.”

Gable was transgender, born Geoffrey, but living the past few years as Jennifer.

2. I guess the family had

planned this SMH!!! Never accepting this person as what they were. God only knows what struggles she must of endured during her time on this earth.

The family doesn't sound very accepting.

5. So you feel it was all her own fault

You don't think the family had anything to do with it?

7. Untwist your undergarments...

I was referring to the best way to get what you think is important for your death.

6. Very sad!

My grandparents were funeral directors, and my cousin still operates the funeral home. A few years ago, he buried a gentleman in full drag, because that was his pre-arranged request.

The family is at fault here. If they insisted on burying Jennifer as Geoffrey, they could have at least closed the casket.
