The Blue Family Fund, a local nonprofit that provides financial aid to families of fallen or injured first responders, made a donation to the family of Barbara Fenley, an Eastland County Sheriff’s Office deputy who died trying to save others in the March wildfires.
Fenley was 51 years old and a sergeant with the sheriff’s office. Her husband, Joe, and son, Jon, accepted the donation at the Eastland County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, May 17.
