An estimated 450 friends and family of a woman beheaded during an attack at the food plant where she worked in Moore gathered at a Moore church for her funeral.
Services were Friday afternoon at Southgate Baptist Church for 54-year-old Colleen Hufford, who died September 25th.
Police arrested one of Hufford's co-workers, 30-year-old Alton Nolen, for allegedly killing her as he sought revenge for a job suspension. Prosecutors have filed paperwork saying they'll seek Nolen's execution if he's convicted.
Friends have begun a fundraising effort to help Hufford's family. As of Friday, more than $8,400 had been pledged toward the goal of $10,000.
Prosecutors said Nolen had an "infatuation" with beheadings. Because of an increase in Middle East violence that has included beheadings, Moore officers asked for FBI help.
