Today we proudly recognize our awesome Funeral Director, Anastasia Dodd, for participating in the March for the 22—braving the freezing cold and winds to raise awareness for veteran su***de prevention.

This event honors the estimated 22 veterans lost to su***de each day and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting those who have served our country.

Anastasia, your compassion, strength, and commitment to our community truly embodies the spirit of Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory. We are so proud to have you on our team. ♥️
