Roanoke TV crew honored at interfaith service
Community leaders and Roanoke residents gathered at the Jefferson Center to remember Alison Parker and Adam Ward, two WDBJ TV journalists killed during a live interview. The service featured prayers across religions, music by the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, and remarks from WDBJ-TV General Manager Jeffrey Marks on mental health and the journalists’ mission. Ward’s funeral is set for September 1 at First Baptist Church, while Parker’s obituary notes a private memorial followed by a later public celebration.
