Transgender’s Funeral Creates Anger
Jennifer Gable was a Twin Falls native who lived in Boise and worked at Wells Fargo Bank. She died suddenlly Oct. 9 at the age of 32, from an aneurysm, friends said. Gable, a transgender individual, had changed her name legally from Geoff in 2007. Her friends of recent years knew her as a woman who spoke her mind without hesitation but reached out for emotional support when she was feeling down. Now some of those friends, who attended Gable's funeral in October in Twin Falls, are outraged. They say Gable's memory isn't being honored: She was in an open casket with a short haircut, wearing a suit, at a service they say made no mention of her female identity/Audrey Dutton, Idaho Statesman.
