Generous Woman Wills $1.2 Million To Tennessee’s Cats and Dogs
Glenda Taylor DeLawder died in November of 2015. Always an animal lover, she left her entire estate to the animals in the Tennessee county in which she lived. Mayor Leon Humphrey of Carter County recently announced that she’d left $1.2 million (yes, million) with the hope that all the money would specifically help care for the county’s cats and dogs.
The administrators of Ms. DeLawder’s estate have already taken her last wishes to heart, allotting $540,000 to her local animal shelter to help expand the animal areas for their comfort, as well as to purchase a van for shelter employees to more easily take pets to clinics and adoption functions.
