Neighbors say LeMay walked the neighborhood every day. Several neighbors described her as "one of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet in your lifetime."

Worcester Police say a dump truck registered to Harrison Paving ran over LeMay, dragging her several feet. There is no sidewalk where LeMay was struck.

A neighbor says the truck driver was distraught and told police he never saw LeMay.

"Mrs. LeMay, she's Grafton Hill," friend Andrea Borrelli said. "She's a huge part of our neighborhood, our community, she had 14 kids, a million grand-kids and she's an elite example of a mother, a grandmother."

Worcester Police are still investigating the crash.
