Family Remembers 73-Year-Old Woman Who Died in Grayson County Tornado --
The National Weather Service Confirmed the tornado that swept through Sherwood Shores in Grayson County Monday night was an EF-2 with sustained winds of at least 130mph.
NBC 5 confirmed 73-year-old Viranda Rodgers died in the tornado. As family members sifted through the destruction that was once her home, they found mementos. They held tightly to pie plates and anything else they believed would keep her memory alive. Rodger’s niece, Regena Wicker, said her family always bonded over pies. And during those special moments her aunt Viranda was there. So, the pie plates she found in the rubble mean more than she ever thought they would.
“My family, they cook a lot of pies and so I picked those up. That kind of stuff,” she said. “Sometimes we’d have more pies than we had regular food it seemed like.”Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
