Thirty-seven years a flight attendant, and one of United's most senior. She preferred to work the coach section. She mentored younger crew and never failed to remember colleagues and family with cards. Two of her colleagues received cards from her postmarked the eleventh of September.
Killed aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which came down in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on the morning of 11 September 2001. The aircraft had left Newark forty-two minutes late, which is the only reason those aboard learned by telephone what had already happened in New York before theirs was taken. They had about thirty minutes. They voted, and they went forward at the cockpit door. The aircraft never reached what it was aimed at.
