 Her teachers said Jennifer would be "greatly missed" |
A schoolgirl killed by a hit-and-run driver has been remembered by her classmates at a memorial service. Jennifer Koester, 14, was hit by a car and a van after she stepped off a bus on the A417 in Faringdon, Oxfordshire, on 16 January.
She was airlifted to hospital but died of her injuries.
Around 200 pupils at Faringdon Community College gathered to hear readings and singing by the school choir at Monday's service.
'Popular girl'
Marilyn Tasker, year nine co-ordinator, said: "Jenny will be greatly missed by all who knew her, but especially by year nine students.
"She was always cheerful, friendly and chatty, and we all loved her."
Linda Sutton, Jennifer's form tutor at the college, said: "Jenny was a popular girl and was liked by them all. We will never forget her."
The blue Honda car that hit Jenny did not stop, and was later found abandoned at Stanford-in-the-Vale.
It had been stolen from north Yorkshire.
