When fans are asked who their favorite Duggar is, Jinger always makes the top of the list.
Though the drama surrounding the Duggars is intense, fans still remain loyal to certain family members.
That’s why when Jinger shared tragic family news, they joined together in mourning.

She was the most selfless woman and gracious woman."
She continued to write about how much she learned from her friend.
“The past 5 years we exchanged letters monthly.

She will be greatly missed.
I will forever be grateful to God for the priceless gift of her friendship.”
Jessa Dugger shared a post (also on Instagram) about making Christmas cards for their Nana.

It is clear Jinger was closest with Nana, and she will be deeply missed by the family.
Tragically, Mary passed away from accidental drowning after falling into the pool in her Arkansas home.
Few of the Duggar children took the news harder than Jinger did.

She shared (viaPeople), “My hand shook as I held my phone to my face.
I heard my mom’s words, but they didn’t make sense.
They couldn’t be true.
There had to be some mistake.”
Grandma Duggar drowned in her backyard pool."
She added, “The thought of my beloved grandma dying in such a tragic way made me sick.
I couldn’t even speak the words as Jeremy consoled me and asked what had happened.”
We are also saddened for Josh’s family, his wife and precious children.
We are saddened for the dishonor this has brought upon Christ’s name.
Josh claims to be a Christian.
They’ll question the legitimacy of a Savior whose so-called followers privately delight in the sins they publicly denounce.
For Josh, we fear for his soul."
They were not the only Duggars to skip out on the family Christmas festivities.
Jill and her husband, Derick, also chose not to attend.
