A vigil will be held at Grace and Peace Church on Thursday night to commemorate the life of a West Side woman known for her lifelong dedication to charitable endeavors.
Authorities say Marvin Wells, 59, forcibly entered a residence in the 4200 block of West Adams Street just before 8 a.m. last Saturday. He then allegedly killed a 53-year-old woman who was inside, later identified as Marisol Berrios. She was brutally beaten to death."Is this what we get when you try so hard to help someone, you have to worry about your personal safety?" she said.
Berrios served as a pastor and had immigrated to Chicago from her native Puerto Rico. Her life's purpose involved embarking on missions to various countries to provide aid during times of disasters and need.
