Another young woman in Williams Lake has died following Saturdayѻýs fatal car crash near Williams Lake.

Faith Liberty Unger, 19, died Monday morning at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops after her family made the decision to take her off life support and offer her organs as a donor.

Unger is the second person who has died as a result of a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 20 in the early morning hours Saturday. Autumn Weir, 17, was declared dead at the scene.

Police have said they continue to investigate, and that alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.

Ungerѻýs mother, Denise Wilson, said she chose to donate her daughterѻýs organs when she was told there would be no hope to save her. The young woman had not signed an organ donor card or discussed the topic with her family, but Wilson said she knew itѻýs what her daughter would have wanted.

Wilson proudly wore an organ donor necklace as she spoke to the Tribune Monday afternoon ѻý its other half on a matching bracelet to be worn by Ungerѻýs eventual organ recipients.

ѻýSomeoneѻýs going to get her heart, which is awesome, because she has the best heart in the world,ѻý Wilson said.

ѻýEveryone loved Faith. Sheѻýs an amazing, giving person. Sheѻýd always give anything to help her friends so thatѻýs why we made this decision.ѻý

The family has bowled together for a long time, and plans to attend Tuesday nightѻýs regular league in memory of Faith.

ѻýShe was always telling me I shouldnѻýt sit around, so I decided now Iѻým going to do all the stuff she says, so tomorrowѻýs bowling will be for her because she would not want us to be sitting at home crying,ѻý Wilson said.

ѻýEveryone wishes they were like her. She was so empathetic, and forgiving and caring and thatѻýs what we need more of in this world.ѻý
