Family honors daughter with a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society

Updated:

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A young woman's memory lives on in an annual event that raises money for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

A steak fry at Our Lady of Mount Carmel raised money for Team Rachel.

Rachel Beasley-Possert passed away four years ago from melanoma.

Fund raising events for the relay team have helped Rachel's family cope with her loss.

"While it's still difficult many days not having our daughter with us, more often we have pleasant memories today of the good times we had when she was with us," said Rachel's dad Tom Beasley.

Team Rachel participates each year in the Liberty Relay for Life.
