LAMAR, Ind. (WEHT) — Deb Scherer unexpectedly died in a car accident in September, and her family continued to honor her legacy with a bake sale and American Red Cross blood drive on Sunday at Saint Peter’s United Church of Christ.

The bake sale supports the Spencer County It Takes A Village No-Kill Rescue while most all the blood donated from the blood drive will stay in the tri-state.

Scherer was known to foster dogs in her life.

“She would be overwhelmed and glad that she has had that much of an impact in her whole community in her church and in her family,” said Stacey Lawalin, who is Scherer’s daughter. “She’d drop everything and do anything for people who needed it. We just want that legacy — that part of her — to carry on.”
