Family and friend speak at funeral for fallen Jackson County deputy
Deputy Lena Nicole Marshall was gunned down in the line of duty. She died from her injuries. Monday, law enforcement, friends, and family gathered to celebrate and honor her life.
It was a powerful scene as Deputy Marshall's body was brought to the Free Chapel Church in a horse-drawn carriage. A sea of blue lights joined behind, having just completed a 16-mile procession through the county in her honor. Residents lined the streets to honor her life and to give her a proper sendoff.
"It just warms my heart what they do every day, and the sacrifices that they make, for the families and the community. It’s just amazing. My heart goes out to the family," said Shelly Corredor, just one member of the community to line the roads to show her support.
"This is just to show support for the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, to let them know we trust everything they do and put their life on, every day for us. We back the blue," Jackson County resident Bud Hill said showing his "Thin Blue Line" American flag.
Deputy Marshall was shot on Nov. 5 at a residence off Highway 124 after receiving a call asking for help to remove someone from the property. There, investigators said she was encountered by 43-year-old Hoschton resident Jessica Worsham. Investigators said Worsham pulled out a gun and pointed it at deputies. The sheriff's office said the suspect fired at the deputies and struck Marshall. The second deputy returned fire and killed Worsham, the sheriff's office said.
Deputy Marshall spent three days in the hospital. She never woke up. She died on the evening of Nov. 8.
