Grace Demetrius, 47, of Frederick, was found pinned under her vehicle on Tuesday, Aug. 1 in the 6400 block of Towncrest Court West while she was attempting to fix a part in the undercarriage.
While she was working, the vehicle backed over her and pinned Demetrius, causing her death, according to the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office. She was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident by first responders.
Her body has since been transported to Baltimore for a full autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Following her death, friends and well-wishers came together in support of Demetrius’ family, raising nearly $2,000 just hours after she was taken away from her children and five dogs.
“Grace was tragically taken from us in an accident yesterday,” organizers of a GoFundMe campaign stated. “She was a loving mother to her children, and a cherished friend to many. She was always there for those in need, and her selflessness will be deeply missed.”
