Nicole Regina White

She had strawberry blonde hair, a golden smile and loved taking care of animals.

Nicole Regina White, a 20-year-old junior majoring in international studies, was killed inside her German class on the second floor of Norris Hall, the class where Cho Seung-Hui exacted his greatest toll.

Originally from the small town of Smithfield in eastern Virginia, Ms. White was a fun-loving honor student who worked summers as a lifeguard. But her main passions were religion and animals. Her family was deeply religious. And in high school she volunteered at barns and stables and cared for horses, Chance Hellmann, a former classmate at Smithfield High School, told The Daily Press of Hampton Roads

On Tuesday, the high school held a moment of silence in her memory at 2 p.m., timed to coincide with the convocation on the campus of Virginia Tech.
