Kitty Martin Powell set up a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe.com, where she asks for help with funeral expenses for Martha Mayfield.
She was a mother of two children and a grandmother, Powell states.
“Due to the circumstances, life insurance money will be held in a probate state,” Powell wrote.
The family also needs help to fund moving “from their life-long home, where murder happened.”
