The Barry County Animal Shelter will get a substantial donation from the estate of the late Edythe Marshall, from Hickory Corners, who died in January.
The county is working with local Attorney Bob Byington to provide a step by step process on the bequest because it involves an insurance company and also a portion of her estate, Barry County Administrator Michael Brown said Tuesday.
“We don’t know how much it is, but it will be significant,” he said. “It’s best to honor the requirements.”
The shelter accepts gifts in donation fund, which are usually smaller amounts, he said.
In 2015, Edythe and Harold Marshall gifted their 300-acre farm to Michigan State University.
