(KMZA)--A former Wetmore area woman and her daughter were killed last week in a two-vehicle wreck in Marion County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 43-year-old Jessica ( Kirk) Henson and her 10-year-old daughter, Baylie Henson, both of Wamego, were killed in the December 13 crash on U.S. 56 highway, northeast of Marion.

The Patrol reports a semi-truck was stopped in a Kansas Department of Transportation work zone waiting on a flagger when a car driven by Henson failed to stop and struck the back end of the semi.

The semi driver, from Emporia, was not hurt.

Henson, who grew up in the Goff and Wetmore area, was a 1999 graduate of Wetmore High school.

Services for Henson and her daughter will be held Friday, December 29th, at 10:30 at the Campanella & Stewart Funeral Home, in Wamego.

Among survivors are her 16-year-old son, Ayden, along with her father, Rick Kirk and brother, Sam Kirk, both of Goff.
