The Morenci Education Foundation (MEF) proudly recognized Matt and Jane Garrow for their dedication to the Morenci community at the 2024 Annual Dinner and Auction.
Matt and Jane’s journey together began on the Garrow family farm, where they were married on May 21, 1988. Both graduated from high school in 1978—Matt from Evergreen High School and Jane from Morenci High School. In 1993, they purchased Jane’s childhood home, where they continue to reside today.
Matt, a graduate of Bowling Green State University, began his career as a loan officer at the Bank of Lenawee before transitioning into financial services. He is currently a partner at Engler, Garrow, and Roth, with offices in Maumee, Morenci, and Adrian. Additionally, he farms the family land alongside his brother, Mitch. Jane, a Siena Heights University graduate, dedicated 30 years to Morenci Area Schools before retiring.
Beyond their professional contributions, Matt and Jane have been deeply involved in community service. Matt serves on the Morenci DDA Board and is a past president of the Morenci Kiwanis Club. He chairs the Rex Riley Scholarship Fund and is actively involved with the Rex Riley Soup and Pie Dinner and the Flag Project. Additionally, he serves as Chairman of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church and is a board member of several nonprofit organizations and industry associations.
Jane is a lifelong member of the Morenci Garden Club, where she has previously served in a leadership role and continues to participate in roadside cleanup and downtown beautification projects. She also coordinated a book discussion group for many years and assists the Morenci Kiwanis Club with the Wishing Tree project. She is a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 368.
The Garrows enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures and histories, and maintaining their home gardens. They feel fortunate to have all four of their parents still living and credit them for instilling values of hard work and community service.
The Morenci Education Foundation is proud to celebrate these individuals for their outstanding achievements and unwavering dedication to the community.
