Murder-Suicide Victim's Family Seeks Support, Starts Fundraising Site

More than two weeks after Cheryl DeSombre became the victim of a marital murder-suicide in her Roxbury Township home, her family is looking for help from the community.

A YouCaring.com page has been created to raise funds and help DeSombre’s daughter, Krista, and DeSombre’s two grandsons, Caleb and Bryson with funeral costs and other expenditures.

“This campaign is to help Cheryl’s daughter cover funeral costs and other expenses she is going to incur raising her two young sons by herself due to her mother’s unfortunate and tragic death,” a brief explanation on the page says.

Cheryl DeSombre, 48, was found dead in her home on Sept. 22 after being shot by her husband, Jay DeSombre, 65, who then turned the gun on himself.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the YouCaring.com page had raised $460 in just two days and has established a goal of $15,000 within the next 116 days.
