A devout Catholic woman who lived in Georgia was among the five people killed in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airport shooting.
That’s according to her church, which confirmed the death of Olga Woltering in a statement on its website Saturday, the day after the attack.
The Catholic Church of the Transfiguration said the native English woman who had long lived in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta “was so charming, calling everybody ’Lovey’ or ’Love’ in her unmistakable British accent.”
A fellow parishioner says she and her husband, Ralph, were “the life of the party.”
The church says, “Her life revolved around her kids, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and hundreds of extended family at Transfiguration.”
