Effort to support family after unexpected death of Minnesota newlywed originally appeared on Bring Me The News.
A fundraising campaign has been launched to support the family of a newlywed who died unexpectedly less than three months after she got married.
Justin and Hallie Stallman were married on May 3, but Hallie tragically and suddenly died in South Dakota on July 30. She was 26-years-old, according to her obituary.
A GoFundMe has been launched to help Justin Stallman, who is a firefighter and first responded for Browns Valley and Donnelly fire departments in west-central Minnesota, near the South Dakota border.
"Hallie was a vibrant, caring soul who brought light to every room she entered," the fundraiser reads. "She had an undeniable bond with their dogs; Moose, Rossco, and Gracie, and her kindness and joy were felt by everyone around her. She will be incredibly missed."
A post on social media by Hallie Stallman's mother, Amanda TeKrony, state that her death was the result of sepsis, which is when the body responds improperly to an infection and starts attacking the body, impacting the ability of organs to function.
The post is critical of the care Hallie received in the weeks before her death, saying she went to "several different facilities that did the tests and found out the problems," but says her condition was not deemed "critical enough" to treat as an emergency, and was instead given outpatient referrals.
"I'm still living in the if only. Bottom line is 26 year olds with no other health issues should not die of sepsis," TeKrony wrote.
The fundraiser to help Justin Stallman has so far generated more than $6,500. You can find it here.
