A temporary memorial was placed on the Mayfield court square on Friday, one week before the anniversary of last December's deadly tornado.
The names of all 24 people who died in Mayfield that night are on the memorial.
The effort was funded by the Mayfield Community Foundation. Director Steven Elder posted a photo of the memorial to his Facebook page. With the photo, Elder posted, "On Dec 10, 2021, many lives and families changed forever. Today, we placed a temporary banner in the court square to honor those we have lost. Keep their memories alive and their families in your prayers. #MayfieldSTRONG"
In November, a permanent memorial was unveiled in Dawson Springs City Park to remember the 19 victims of their community.
Across Kentucky, 80 people died because of the tornado outbreak.
