Memorial honors Hurst officer who died of cancer

A police procession made its way through Hurst Friday morning for a fallen officer.

Officer Cheryl Kovach died a week ago after a seven-year battle with cancer. She was a 23-year veteran of the department and continued working during her treatment.

FOX 4 News previously reported on fundraising efforts organized by Kovach’s colleagues to help pay for her medical care.

Her memorial service was held at a church in Southlake.
