DUNDALK, Md. (AP) - Capital Gazette staffer Rebecca Smith was remembered as sweet and quiet, a good person with a beautiful smile.
Dozens attended a visitation on Sunday afternoon to pay their respects to Smith, The Baltimore Sun reported.
Beth Rittenour, of Warren, Ohio, said through tears after the visitation that her daughter was "smart, beautiful, talented, everything you want in a daughter."
The 34-year-old joined The Capital as an advertising sales assistant in November. She and four other staffers were killed June 28 when a gunman who had a grudge against the newspaper attacked its offices in Annapolis, authorities said. The suspect, Jarrod Ramos, is charged with five counts of first-degree murder.
The Capital's advertising director Marty Padden said on Sunday, "We're just heartbroken."
