Laura Wilkinson Memorial Fund

Laura Wilkinson Memorial Fund

In late 1989, a child tragically died and her family was faced with not only tremendous grief, but also the burden of funeral expenses. The Erie community, however, came to the family’s aid and the legacy of the Laura Wilkinson Memorial Fund was established.

The generosity was such that, after the expenses for the Wilkinson funeral were paid, a substantial balance remained. Inter-Church Ministries was designated as the trustee and administrator of the fund which continues to assist families after the death of a child.

The Laura Wilkinson Memorial Fund provides funds for funeral expenses of any child age 17 or under when the family cannot afford a basic funeral service. ICM coordinates through the chosen funeral home for the disbursements of the funds with set parameters.

This fund is available for families in Erie and Crawford County.
