A memorial fund has been set up in honor of a woman who was shot and killed in a hunting accident.
The Rosemary "Rosie" Billquist Memorial Fundwill provide financial support to Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care, Chautauqua County Humane Society and Southern Tier Kidney Association.
Billquist was shot while walking her dogs in November in the Town of Sherman by a hunter who told investigators he mistook the 43-year-old woman for a deer.
The hunter, 34-year-old Thomas Jadlowski, turned himself in a week after the accidental shooting to face charges of second-degree manslaughter and hunting after hours.
