"It is with deep sadness that we inform you that a St. Pius X Catholic High School graduate Jackelyn(Jackie) Kulzer, (Class of 2006) was one of the victims of today’s plane crash in Atlanta.

Jackie is remembered  as a wonderful young lady, a very popular, energetic, out-going individual that was always concerned about others. While at St. Pius she was a four year member of the competition  cheerleading squad, and many other campus organizations.

Her brother Matt Bailey was a member of the Class of 2002. The thoughts and prayers of the St. Pius family go out to the entire Kulzer family at this time."

Kulzer and Christopher Byrd was scheduled to be married in October.
