TEWKSBURY, MASS. (WHDH) - A public memorial service for Rhoda LeRocque, a victim of the Las Vegas shooting, was held in her hometown of Tewksbury Saturday.
Nearly 1,000 people including family, friends and loved ones were able to say their final goodbye at 10:30 a.m. at Tewksbury High School.
This came after LeRocque’s wake, held in Wilmington on Friday, where more than 1,500 people were in attendance.
LeRocque, 42, was one of 58 people killed during a country music festival on October 1st.
She went to the concert with her husband, father-in-law and young daughter Ali as part of their family vacation.
Her father-in-law returned to the hotel with 6-year-old Ally just before the gunman opened fire.
The family was heading to Disney, and they decided to stop in Las Vegas for the concert because LeRocque enjoyed country music so much.
