The Child Focus Giving Tree Program is using The Paul Sturgill Memorial Fund to help purchase clothing, food and toys for needy children and families over the holidays this year.

Paul Sturgill’s wife, Renelda Sturgill, also an employee at Child Focus, said that Christmas was one of Paul’s favorite holidays and the Giving Tree program is a way to honor his memory while helping families in need.

A memorial was established for Paul at Child Focus after he died Dec. 23 last year in a car accident. Paul was the Owensville Police Chief and was very invested in his community. Paul’s memorial received donations from family, co-workers, friends and fellow police officers.
