Orange County Remembers the Service of Kaci Daniel, Unit Director and 4-H Extension Agent for Youth Development
By: Orange County Communications Department
The Orange County government and community are mourning the passing of Katherine “Kaci” Coppedge Daniel following a valiant battle with cancer, during which she continued to serve with dedication in the Orange County Extension Office. For more than 24 years, Kaci held the position of 4-H Extension Agent for Youth Development. Kaci was known for her steadfast enthusiasm which always shone while serving our residents, especially our youth. Her tireless dedication to activities like 4-H, TACO Camp, and the Orange County Fair, among countless other programs and activities, continues to serve as an example to all who had the privilege to know her. In recognition of her service, and in honor of the special place 4-H always held for her, the Orange County Board of Supervisors has contributed $10,000, through Virginia Tech, to the Katherine "Kaci" Daniel 4-H Building To Endowment Fund. The fund will support free 4-H camp scholarships for local youth.
