A 19-year-old woman was laid to rest Saturday. It's been a week since she crashed her car on Hunter Road. Misty Szekely was on her way to work at Hamilton Place Mall when she lost control of her car and hit a tree.
Szekely was part of the Tennessee National Guard. She was laid to rest in a military funeral at Ooltewah Cemetery Saturday. Her loved ones say she died a hero. Channel 3 attended the service at her father's request.
19-year-old Misty Dawn Szekely of Sale Creek was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan this weekend. Instead, her family and fellow military members say she died saving lives in another way-- through organ donation.
Carrying Specialist Misty Szekely to her final resting place was a group what the National Guard refers to as her "battle buddies."
