BOSTON — Friends and family are remembering the woman killed on a scooter after it collided with a duck boat along one of Boston's most scenic tourist areas.
Friends say Allison Warmuth was very involved in the community. For the past year, she's been volunteering at a daytime shelter for women and children less than half a mile from where the accident happened.
One of her friends said she went there every Saturday.
But on this weekend, her life ended too soon at a busy intesection. It's a tragedy her friends and family are still trying to understand.
"She always came in with so much energy," her friend Damien Yee said. "I remember one time, she said she ran from home to here and it was just amazing."
Yee volunteered with Warmouth at the Women's Lunch Place every Saturday, where they prepared hundreds of meals for women and children in need.
Friends and family told FOX25's Stephanie Coueignoux this spirit of wanting to help make someone's day better was simply who Warmuth was.
"She's just one of those people who, if you saw during the day, you felt a lot better than the day began," said Yee.
Aaron Goldstein used to work with allison at Lexington Insurance, part of the company AIG. He spoke with us by phone, saying he was devastated after learning Allison had been killed Saturday when her scooter collided with a Duck Boat.
Police say both Allison and the duck boat had been making a right hand turn from Charles Street onto Beacon Street.
Allison's friend, who was also on the scooter, had minor injuries.
"She was just a great person to be around and I miss her very much," Yee said.
Allison Warmuth's mother spoke with Stephanie Coueignoux by phone and said her daughter "was a very special person."
A special person being remembered by so many.
