Fundraiser held for family displaced by fatal fire

A fundraiser was held Sunday at the Don Laine Campground in Palmerton to raise money for Marcy and Jay Zelinsky and their family.

An Aug. 9 fire destroyed the double home at 131 and 133 Columbia Ave. The Zelinsky family lived at 133 and were away on vacation at the time.

Robin Wisocky, 61, who lived at 131, died of carbon monoxide toxicity in the fire. Her death was ruled accidental by Carbon County Coroner Bob Miller.

“We just wanted to do something to help,” said Stacy Burnett, manager at Don Laine. “I went to school with Marcy. We are all here to do what we can for them.”
