Cumer was one of the people killed in the mass shooting in Dayton in August 2019. The Washington native was murdered while shielding fellow interns.

Karen Wonders, the executive director of Maple Tree Cancer Alliance, said her organization has been rocked, but Cumer's memory is helping get them back on their feet.
