The Pulaski County Council took a few moments Monday to mark the recent loss two members of the local community. Council Vice-President Mike Tiede began the meeting with a moment of silence for County Clerk Christi Hoffa. She passed away last month, after a battle with leukemia.
Council member Ken Boswell also asked council members to keep the family of Winamac Middle School student Owen Abbott in their thoughts, as well. “We lost a 13-year-old boy this past week to a horrible bus tragedy,” he said, “and I think we need to also make sure that we keep that family and so forth in our minds.”
Abbott’s funeral is scheduled for this afternoon.
