A beloved teacher and his wife. Young sisters staying with their grandparents. Multiple girls from a riverside summer camp and their father-figure camp director. These are some of the dozens of victims killed as gushing floodwaters swept across central Texas on Friday.

The flooding originated from the swift waters of the swollen Guadalupe River as a storm pounded the region with torrential rain. 

The death toll has climbed to 82, with dozens more missing as of Monday morning.

As the floodwaters receded, more victims were being identified and their stories shared.

Mary Kathryn Jacobe, 8, was also killed in the flood at Camp Mystic, FOX26 Houston reported.

Mary’s family told the outlet that the girl was “fun, compassionate and kind.”

“We will miss her dearly,” the family said.

Fox News Digital’s Paulina Dedaj, Scott Thompson, Rachel Wolf and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
