CRAIG COUNTY, Va. -- Holly King, a special education teacher in Montgomery County, Virginia, was killed Friday as the remnants of Hurricane Helene moved the Commonwealth.
King, who lived in Craig County at the time of her death, grew up in Powhatan County, Virginia, according to her online bio and friends who reached out to CBS 6.
The 29-year-old Radford University graduate was honored at an Eastern Montgomery High School volleyball game on Monday night with a moment of silence before the game.
King's favorite color was green, so athletes and fans wore green in her honor.
