Memorial fund established for children

MEMBERS OF Local 618-CD have set up a memorial fund for the children left behind after a tragic murder-suicide involving a Thurston County corrections officer.

Local president Corrections Officer Paul Minker says any financial help will aid the children, aged 11 and 17, as they face life without their parents.

Karen and Marvin Henry died December 4, 2001. Their aunt and uncle of Lacey are caring for the children.

Anyone can contribute to the fund by contacting any branch of First Community Bank and asking to donate to the Henry Children Memorial Fund.
