(KNZA)--Funeral arrangements have been set for a 6-year-old Sabetha girl who died Tuesday from injuries received in a two-vehicle Brown County wreck.

According to an obituary from the Popkess Mortuary in Sabetha, a private family Mass of Christian Burial for Taya Mooney will be held Tuesday at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, in Sabetha.

Following the private service, the funeral procession will leave the church at about 11:30 a.m. and proceed down Main Street to the Sabetha Cemetery. The family would like to invite the public to gather along Main Street for a balloon release in honor of Taya as the funeral procession proceeds to the cemetery.

Taya will lie in state and viewing will be open to the public Sunday from 9 am to 6 pm at the Popkess Mortuary Chapel, in Sabetha, with a visitation being held from 2 to 6 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Taya Lynn Mooney Scholarship and sent in care of the mortuary.

Taya was a passenger in a car that was rear-ended by a semi-truck on U.S. 75 Highway at 260th Road Sunday evening.

She died from injuries received in the wreck Tuesday at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
