The Overbrook community is preparing to remember and honor late Overbrook Police Chief, Terry Hollingsworth, at a memorial event at Overbrook City Lake. Brandi Shepard, the daughter of Hollingsworth, says a memorial event will be hosted for her father today from 10:00 to 2:00. Shepard says the event will be held at the Overbrook City Lake where friends and family will gather to share memories about Terry. Food trucks will be set up at the lake to feed the crowd, however, guests are welcome to bring their own lunch. Shepard noted that guests should feel free to bring their own blankets or chairs for a picnic at the lake.
The gofundme account she previously set up will continue to collect funds before the event. According to Shepard, there is a plan to unveil a memorial bench for Chief Hollingsworth at the lake. Any donations received will go toward law enforcement agencies in Osage County to update needed equipment and send new officers to training.
