HILLSBORO — An Arkansas family trying to fulfill an ailing grandmother’s last request, arrived in Hillsboro early Sunday with the grandmother’s body in the back of their recreational vehicle, police said.
The woman apparently died in Wyoming, and her family completed the trip.
The 79-year-old woman, who lived in Oroville, Calif., suffered from advanced kidney disease and wished to see her family before she died, Hillsboro Police Lt. Michael Rouches said.
