TOCCOA, Ga. - Family and friends came together to say their final goodbyes to 24-year-old Chandler LeCroy.
LeCroy, an alumnus of the University of Georgia and a former member of the Stephens County High School Competitive Cheer Team, was laid to rest with the help of the UGA football team and her former high school's cheerleading team.
