A memorial has been set up in Downtown Kerrville, as the death toll from flooding in the county continues to rise.

The memorial includes an array of colorful flowers and pictures of those affected by the catastrophic flooding.

Leslie Wells Rambin contributed to the memorial to remember flood victim Jane Ragsdale, who she described as a “wonderful person, as good as they get.”

Ragsdale was the co-owner and camp director of the all-girls camp Heart O’ the Hills in Hunt, Texas, according to the camp’s website. She had “influenced countless lives and was the definition of strong and powerful,” the camp said.

CNN’S Alaa Elassar, Nicquel Terry Ellis and Caroll Alvarado contributed reporting.
