Annual ?to-go? lunch, auction benefitting cancer society

The Cancer Exterminators Jefferson County Relay for Life Team will be hosting its fourth annual silent auction and ?to-go? soup luncheon in memory of Sandy Worley from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at First National Bank in Fairfield.

Take-out chili, broccoli-cheese or potato soup will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The silent auction will include many items donated by members and businesses in the community, as well as the remaining months of the 2015 Jefferson County Survivor Calendar.

?This is a great way to honor a loved one either in memory or as a survivor and support the American Cancer Society as well,? said Dawn Bechtel of the Cancer Exterminators. ?The calendar includes both beautiful photographs and inspirational stories of hope from local cancer survivors, as well as memorial of those we?ve lost too soon.?

A bake sale, as well as several vendors, also will be set up and donating a percentage of their sales for the day to the American Cancer Society.

The event and many of the auction items can be viewed online at www.facebook.com/events/1417539291825822/ or contact Bechtel at 919-2209 for more information.

Sandra Worley, age 63, of Fairfield, passed away the morning of June 8, 2010, at the Jefferson County Health Center.

Worley fought breast cancer for several years. She beat the disease once, only to have it reappear several years later. Despite a grueling regiment of chemotherapy and radiation, she did not let the diagnosis slow her down. She continued working at First National Bank and helping her husband Larry with the family farm. She was determined to prove to others that cancer does not mean a person stops living. She refused to become a victim and courageously battled until the end and served as an inspiration to all those around her.
