- She died after being stabbed while jogging on 30 October.
- Her organ donation saved five people.

## Summary

Katie Suarez, a 28-year-old Brooklyn woman killed while out jogging, was remembered at her funeral as joyful, kind and welcoming. At a service in Gravesend, attended by family, friends and neighbours wearing her favourite colour, purple, the priest urged mourners to honour how she treated people rather than focus only on how she died.

The service was held less than two miles from where Suarez was fatally stabbed on 30 October; she died two days later and donated organs that saved five people. Her parents have called for justice, while some mourners urged the city to improve lighting, add cameras and increase police presence along the path. The man accused of killing her has said he does not remember the attack.
