The community of New Caney is now mourning the sudden loss of 25-year-old Jaelynn B. Stewart, whose life was cut short far too soon.
A Fatal Collision at a Local Intersection
Jaelynn had just left her home in the Northcrest Subdivision along Highway 242, possibly heading out for a simple errand or to visit someone nearby.
