The bodies of 24-year-old Kaydee Lyons, of Albany, and 28-year-old Matthew Banks, of Scotia, were found Friday, Aug. 19, in Tenant Creek in the Hamilton County town of Hope, State police said.
The deaths are still under investigation, but the drownings appear to be accidental, police said.
Lyons’ mother, Jennifer, confirmed her daughter’s death in a post on Facebook.
She asked that instead of flowers, people donate to the Lesley University Threshold Program.
“It was Kaydee's dream to attend college,” Lyons wrote. “She was fulfilling that dream and completed a year of that program. We want to continue fulfilling other people's dreams in her remembrance.”
