A well-known Jefferson couple was killed in a Banks county wreck Friday on Hwy. 63 at Hwy. 51. Killed were Tony and Ann Ianuario, Jefferson. The wreck reportedly involved a tractor trailer and a SUV, but no official details were available Saturday about the cause of the wreck.

The Ianuarios were involved in a variety of civic activities in the area. Tony was perhaps best known for dressing up as "Father Christmas" and participating in programs at churches and other community events. Ann was a Master Gardner and her yard across the street from Jefferson First United Methodist Church was known for its spring beauty.

No arrangements have been announced for the couple.
