Background
This is two memorial funds for Monica rolled into one!
Memorial Fund #1
Forest Park Memorial Paver (first $350 donated)
_______
Monica was a resident of the Central West End for decades, and proudly worked for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and City of St. Louis as a civil employee for over 28 years. Just as Monica was an enduring (and endearing!) fixture in this city, we want to pay tribute to her lasting impact.
The first $350 in donations will help us honor her memory forever in beautiful Forest Park, with a 4" x 8" commemorative brick in the Brick Paver Plaza located at the base of Government Hill’s reflecting pool. The brick will be installed in the spring of 2026. We hope you stop by for a visit and a warm memory.
Memorial Fund #2
Humane Society of Missouri
_______
If you knew Monica, you know how much she loved her cats! The Humane Society of Missouri is where Monica recently adopted her sweet girl Trixie.
Memorial contributions that surpass the first $350 will be donated in full to the Humane Society of Missouri. If you wish, you may make your tax-deductible memorial contribution directly at www.hsmo.org Contribute
