Letters and cards to the family may be sent to the Little Davenport Funeral Home.  In lieu of flowers the Kacak family is requesting that donations be made to a fund to help young people attend Cohutta Springs Youth Camp’s Wakeboarding Camp or to a fund to help young people attend Georgia-Cumberland Academy (GCA).

Pastor Maurice Witt who has been assisting the family in making funeral arrangements says the family is asking for donations to help young people attend Wakeboarding Camp at Cohutta Springs Youth Camp because wakeboarding was one of the great loves of Bethany’s life and is asking for donations to help young people attend GCA because of her love for the school.

“She enjoyed so much last summer at wakeboarding camp at Cohutta,” says Witt.  “The family says from the moment she left camp last summer she was looking forward to attending Wakeboarding Camp this summer at Cohutta.”  He says the family really believes in the summer camp’s program and its ability to help youth.

Witt say’s Bethany’s father, Robert, recalls that when Bethany moved into her dorm room at GCA last year she was less than thrilled at attending the academy but that within days her attitude had completely changed and the family says the school made a difference in her life.

Donations to either fund can be sent to:  Georgia-Cumberland Conference, P.O. Box 12000, Calhoun, Ga. 30703.  In the memo section of the check please specify either “Bethany Wakeboarding” or “Bethany GCA.”

When funeral arrangements are finalized they will be posted on this website.
