Lola R. Bolden, 40 of OKC, daughter of Mary Bolden of Newcastle, AL; mother of Pamela Sanders and Ricky and Jonathan Hill. Sgt US Army recruiting Battalion.

Sgt. Lola Bolden, a 16-year soldier, had only been stationed in the Oklahoma City Army Recruiting Battalion since January of 1995, but co-workers say they had already succumbed to her warm smile.

Her mother, Mary Bolden, described her daughter as a quiet but outgoing person who loved sports. A high school track enthusiast and frequent cyclist, Lola's idea of going to the mall was not to shop - but to walk. She emphasized homework and togetherness to her two sons, Rickey and Jonathan, and the threesome were close. "Where ever she went, they went with her," said Mrs. Bolden. Lola's favorite flower was the yellow rose.
