Memorial playground fundraiser set for Saturday
Efforts to gain funding for a memorial playground to honor the passing of five people with ties to the Wills Point community will continue this weekend with plans underway to host a spaghetti dinner, talent show and silent auction at the Russell Memorial United Methodist Church’s Deen Building beginning at 5:30 p.m. May 13.
On Nov. 19, 2014, Wills Point Primary School teacher Trudi Hardman, her husband Michael, a former teacher in Wills Point who was employed at John F. Kennedy Elementary in Terrell at the time of the accident, and three children from their blended family, Adam and Kaci Hardman and Dakota Watson, were killed in a single-vehicle accident on their way to Florida for a family vacation.
