OLYMPIA, Wash. — A new memorial is honoring missing Utah mother Susan Powell and her two children.
Crews worked to install the memorial Monday, including a granite base topped with an angel. The site at Woodbine Cemetery in Puyallup invites people to gather in vigil each year on December 6, which is the day Powell disappeared in 2009.
The missing mother's birthday was marked in October with the release of "Susan's Song: A Dream Away," written to honor the mother and her children.
Susan Powell's husband killed the couple's two young children, Charlie and Braden, earlier this year. Josh Powell also died in the fire he set at the home he was renting amid the investigation into his wife's disappearance. Days before, he had been denied custody of the children and ordered to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation.
Donations to Crime Stoppers paid for the memorial, whichl is dedicated as a place of healing for all people who have suffered the loss of a child.
