A wave of heartbreak has swept through a grieving community following the unexpected death of Jasmine Barbuto, a devoted mother, nurse, and wife, who passed away on Wednesday, April 9th, due to health complications that led to cardiac arrest.
Jasmine tragically collapsed in her kitchen and was found unresponsive by her young children. Despite their swift efforts to call for help, Jasmine had suffered cardiac arrest and, due to a prolonged lack of oxygen, sustained irreversible brain damage. She sadly passed away while her husband, Blaine—a United States Marine Corps veteran and dedicated sheriff—was on duty.
Jasmine’s passing has left her family and loved ones shattered. Described as “a light in our lives,” she was more than a healthcare worker; she was a source of strength and compassion who devoted herself fully to her role as a mother and caregiver. Her death is not only a personal loss for her family but also a profound one for the countless people she touched through her kindness and dedication.
Blaine, now a widower and single father, is left to raise their children amidst immense sorrow and uncertainty. To help ease the financial burdens during this unimaginably difficult time, Jasmine’s family has created a GoFundMe page, reaching out to the community for support with funeral expenses, childcare, and the many challenges ahead.
The heartfelt message on the fundraiser reads:
“Thank you for visiting our GoFundMe and taking the time to read our story.
