ABC11 TV station raised eyebrows after its chief meteorologist surprised a woman who’d lost her sister and home with one of its branded umbrellas. ABC13 in Halifax County, Virginia, sprung the surprise on the woman named Mary on March 1, a week after her sister Carrie Williams, 69, was killed in a crash.
A family faced with a double tragedy after a house fire and fatal crash happened in one night. Mary said she lived in the home on Mill Road in Clover for 40 years, raising her five children in it, before it was destroyed by a fire Monday night, Feb. 24. She said she and her granddaughter were inside the home when it caught fire.
Mary’s daughter, Kathy Long, reached out to George Flickinger saying that her mother lost this beloved possession of hers among many others. The family asked WSET for a new umbrella, and if George Flickinger could bring it.
Mary and three of her daughters say how devastating this loss is for the family. “It was rough to see my home burning up and then apparently that night my sister had passed away on her way to my house,” said Mary. Mary’s daughters were so happy to be able to surprise their mother and help give her a moment of peace.
The segment then switched to Flickinger holding the umbrella above Mary during sunny weather as she tearfully outlined the double-tragedy that had befallen her. Mary said: ‘It was rough to see my home burning up and then apparently that night my sister had passed away on her way to my house.’
