Monday, Aug. 22, marks the anniversary of the death of Agnes Furey. A few days before that, a memorial gathering celebrating her life took place Saturday at the United Church of Tallahassee.<\/p>\n

A number of speakers recalled how their lives had been touched by Furey\u2019s devotion to forgiveness and restorative justice following the 1998 murder of her daughter and grandson.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgnes, thank you for your example of love and for your legacy of living a life of peace,\u201d exclaimed one of them.<\/p>\n

Furey extended that love and forgiveness to the murderer, Leonard Scovens. He and Furey went on to co-author a book on the power of restorative justice, excerpts of which were read at the service. Afterward, FSU Professor Tom Taylor moderated a discussion on the topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hope is this experience can be shared in other communities around Florida and around the country. And so, this message is going forward. I think she lives on in many ways,\u201d Taylor remarked.<\/p>\n

Agnes Furey died of complications from COVID-19 on August 22, 2021. She was 84. <\/p>\n
