It was an emotional day for family and friends of a woman from Newfoundland whose body was discovered near Saskatoon.

Hundreds of people packed the Assumption Parish Church in Stephenville Crossing, Newfoundland on Thursday, to pay their respects to Carol King.

King was found dead last weekend after she went missing from her rural home near Herschel.

Two songs were performed in King's memory, both describing who the 40-year-old was, and the loving family she leaves behind.
