That’s what started the whole discussion. Someone said at the crime scene, he appear to want her to be saved, he appeared to care for her. And then someone responded to that post by saying that he might’ve been pretending to care about her because he was angling for her pension. It requires some sort of legal relationship either married or blood relative. There is no pension that some guy you’re dating can claim after death.

My post was in reference to the statement "he referred to her as his wife."
I never stated he was pretending to care for her. That would be irrevalent to the pension issue. So, you took my statement out of context.
That's why I prefaced with "I don't know if it's true".
Vicky W's obituary mentions "special family" members. I don't know what that means but wonder if there were people in her life who considered themselves to be her 'kids,' or brothers or sisters. Maybe that's what led to some confusion. She had a large circle of family and friends; they're pulling together the service and funeral quickly, and submitted the obituary. So sad.
Well, at the time of death, she was a terminated employee. Why would they pay out a death benefit?
And asking because I don't know...does one contribute to a pension plan? I mean, I know you do for a 401k...but a pension plan?
We had to pay into ours when I worked for a school district. They took it out of our pay automatically. I think it's usually the case, at least with union pensions.
Whose idea was it to make this information public? Not a good idea at all. The haters are gonna be out in force.
Why even have a funeral? I don't plan to have one, and I haven't become "infamous."
I think her mother/MIL are basically in denial and consider her a victim. I'm surprised they haven't started a Go Fund Me.
As for the pension: whether being fired, quitting, or retiring, you're still entitled to it if you're vested in the plan. And, as I recall, you can name anyone you like as beneficiary. She might not have chosen the survivorship option, however (I didn't).
And as for Casey referring to her as his "wife," anyone else wondering if they somehow managed to get legally married somewhere along the line? Seems impossible, but...
Maybe it was just a private spiritual wedding (I had one of those).

I would like to see a link to that, because I don't think it's accurate. Normally it has to be a spouse or children. Regardless, if she had done that, then he wouldn't have to "appear" to care about her to "angle" for her pension.

Hopefully they will move the service to a different time so protestors can't disrupt it. The funeral service is for her friends and family to mourn her, not judge her. That's what the internet is for!
Indeed, but - considering everything - I believe I'd make it a quiet, small, private affair.
Agreed. Whoever made this public was not thinking straight. I wonder if they even ran it past the family. If it was left up to her elderly parents, they might not have been thinking this through
