Members of the community rallied to keep alive the memory of Cecilia CC Besecker by participating in an American Red Cross blood drive at St. Therese’s Roman Catholic Church in Shavertown.

Besecker, daughter of Terri and Robert Besecker Jr., of Dallas, was killed in an automobile accident on June 28, 2012. The 22-year-old Dallas High School graduate was attending Indiana University of Pennsylvania and studying fashion merchandising at the time of her death.

Terri Besecker, an employee of St. Therese’s Church, said the church hosts blood drives throughout the year and thought such a drive would be a good way to keep CC’s memory alive.
