The Kaycin Jade Morrison Memorial Benefit will be held Saturday, Feb. 22, at the VFW Post 7103 in Athens starting at noon. All proceeds of this event will go to the family to help cover expenses incurred during the illness that took Kaycin’s life on Jan. 17. The benefit will include a live auction, band and barbecue plates for $10.
Donations may also be made to the Kaycin Jade Morrison Tragedy Fund at any Citizens National Bank branch. Kaycin Jade was the daughter of Larry Morrison of Cross Roads and Jenni Gabbert of Athens.
Kaycin Jade Morrison was born on Nov. 30, 2013, two months premature. Unfortunately, Kaycin suffered from a horrible defect of the abdominal wall, which left her intestines outside of her body. Kaycin went through multiple surgeries, but lost her battle on Jan. 17 and passed away in the arms of her parents.
