Your heroism and service is honored today, the 94th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

I saw your name on the wall of the national law enforcement memorial today and read that you were the first known woman leo to be killed in line of duty.
Many years ago I was a correctional officer at SQ, and know that corrections and detention has always been a dangerous (albeit challenging) job.
Rest In Peace.
