Yellow Heart Memorial

The Yellow Heart Wall is a place to honor and remember Jefferson County Residents who have died from COVID-19. The Yellow Heart Wall is located at Arnold Recreation Center (1695 MO State Road, Arnold, MO 63010).

The seeds for the Yellow Heart Memorial movement were planted when Rosie Davis, 45, of Carrollton, Texas, started writing the names of people who have died from COVID-19 on paper yellow hearts. She started the effort after her mother, Mary Castro, died in May 2020 from complications related to the virus, according to the Yellow Heart Memorial website. Meagan Wagner-Westermayer, 37, of Festus started looking for a place to set up a memorial in Jefferson County after her father and longtime Jefferson County Circuit Clerk Howard Wagner died in December 2020 from COVID- 19. Wagner-Westermayer said she hopes lots of other countians honor their loved ones by submitting their names for the memorial.
