The event was held at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, at the Chesterfield County Animal Services at 9300 Public Works Road, nearly three years since her death.
Attendees were encouraged to come out and help honor Monahan by walking a dog in her memory -- whether with your own pet or walking with a Chesterfield shelter animal.
Monahan was a part of the Clover Hill Fire Station and provided more than 11 years of service to Chesterfield County Fire & EMS. During that time, she helped recover a body from the Swift Creek Reservoir in March.
