Biography
Sergeant, United States Army, an assistant in the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel.
She enlisted out of high school and served in Bosnia, Korea and Germany. She was twenty-five, and she loved basketball and music.
Her mother, talking about her afterwards, kept slipping between tenses. She was such a sweet - is such a sweet girl. I was very proud of her. I am very proud of her.
In the house at Brewton where she grew up, her family kept a vigil: candles lit inside, a flag outside.
