Wake, funeral for teacher killed in snowmobile crash
Funeral services have been set for the Massapequa schoolteacher killed after a snowmobile crash while visiting Vermont for New Year's, her family said.
Kristen Bednar, 30, of East Patchogue, who died last Thursday of head injuries she sustained the day before when she hit a tree, will be remembered at a funeral Mass on Thursday at St. Peter the Apostle Church in Islip Terrace, said Bednar's father, Peter Blum.
There will be a wake for Bednar, an avid sportswoman and outdoorswoman, who taught physical education at Birch Lane Elementary. It will be held at Chapey Fredrick & Son Funeral Home at 200 E. Main St., East Islip, Tuesday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. and on Wednesday from 2 to 4:30 p.m. and from 7 to 9:30 p.m., Blum said.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Bednar's memory to Community Options' iMatter surf camp for children with autism: 10 Barbara Dr. in Succasunna, N.J. 07876. Bednar was a longtime volunteer for the camp.
