Grandma Mary Duggar passed away before Amy Duggar King welcomed her little boy. She was pregnant with her first child at the time of the tragic accident. Since then, Amy has treasured the time her mother, Deanna has spent helping her. She even posted a photo and commented about how Grandma Duggar and her mom have a strong resemblance.

There has been plenty of support for the Duggar family since they lost their matriarch. It has been just over six months since the tragic passing of Grandma Mary Duggar, and this will be the first Christmas without her at the family gatherings.

Counting On came to a close with Grandma Mary Duggar’s services. The Duggar children spoke and some of the goodbyes were featured on camera. Amy Duggar King wasn’t interested in being a part of the public part, but she made her peace and said her goodbye.
