Memorial service Saturday for South Lake Tahoe officer, wife killed in accident near Fallon
A memorial service for South Lake Tahoe Police Department Officer Mark Hounsell and his wife, Jeanne Hounsell, will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24, 11:00 a.m. at LifePoint Church. The church is located at 1095 Stephanie Way in Minden.
The couple and a family friend, Laura Fisher, from Washington, Illinois, died Saturday in a single vehicle rollover accident near Fallon. Four children were also seriously injured.
All four of Mark's children were in the 2004 Chevy Suburban with Mark and Jeanne when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle left the roadway and crashed.
Two of the children, Tyler, age 14, and Lance, age 11, are Mark's children with ex-wife Lisa Fricke-Aiazzi. The other two lost both parents, six-year-old Emma and Corbin, age four. The couple lived in Minden.
A "Go Fund Me" account has been set up to help the kids. The goal of the fundraising efforts is to raise at least $30,000 per child to help with expenses including their every day necessities while also investing in their futures with college funds. Go here to contribute to the fund.
Since being started on Monday, October 19, the fund is growing quickly and has raised, as of Wednesday afternoon, $57,171 of the $130,000 goal.
