Family mourns mom killed in Everett RV fire

Bellevue, WALocal News

An RV fire in Everett, Washington, resulted in the tragic deaths of two individuals, including Jennifer Sanders, a 39-year-old mother. Her daughter, Faith Mushrow, expressed disbelief and deep sorrow over the loss, highlighting the challenging living conditions inside the RV, which was described as unlivable due to hoarding. Investigators are currently examining the circumstances surrounding the fire, with indications that Sanders may have used propane tanks for heating. A chilling encounter at a local 7-Eleven revealed that a man who last saw Sanders reported smelling gas in the RV and noted unsafe heating practices, including using a deep-frying apparatus connected to a propane tank. The Everett Fire Department has stated that the investigation is ongoing, but the cause remains undetermined.

In the wake of this tragedy, the family has set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses, emphasizing the importance of cherishing family relationships. Mushrow's heartfelt message serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the need to express love to those we hold dear. The community is rallying to support the family during this difficult time.
