The Kitsap County coroner's office has identified the woman found killed in a burning mobile home in Bremerton as 58-year-old Paymela Jean Long.

Coroner Greg Sandstrom says she was killed before the fire early Saturday morning at Illahee Shores mobile home park.

Long was a country musician who performed with the group Whatta Band. The Kitsap Sun reports she split her time between Bremerton to be near her family in the Northwest, and Mena, Ark., where she shared a home with her husband Jerry Long.

  I'm no fan of Billy Ray, but that was a thoughtless thing to say.

  CJN is incapable of anything more than thoughtless comments.
