WYTHE COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) — The family of a woman doused in gasoline and burned is remembering her as a “sweet, caring” person. Tiffany Dunford died a day after the attack and a suspect is in custody.
“She didn’t deserve to be burned,” her cousin Nicole Reyna told WFXR over the phone Monday. “This is devastating to me and my family.”
Reyna described her cousin as someone who loved animals and the outdoors. She adds that the mom of two was the life of the party while also being someone who would give you the shirt off her back.

“She meant like a sister to me. Everybody always said me and my cousin looked alike, and I know the Lord’s looking over her now and she’s not suffering in pain,” she said.
Reyna says she’s thankful to the authorities who arrested the suspect in Dunford’s death and to the doctors who tried to save her life.
