Mrs. Shelia A. Walsh

  Mrs. Shelia A. Walsh, 24, of Opelousas, was killed instantly
when struck by a bolt of lightning, while on a fishing trip on
Toledo Lake, Sunday, June 17, at 1:30 p.m.

  Mrs. Walsh was sitting in an aluminum boat with a small dog in
her lap, and her husband, Robert Walsh, was in the other end of
the boat when the accident happened. Neither Mr. Walsh or the dog
were injured. It took Walsh about 45 minutes to get back to HLB
Landing, where an ambulance picked up Mrs. Walsh's body. Sabine
Parish Deputy Wayne Turner also went to the scene.
