SALT LAKE CITY — Friends and colleagues of a woman killed in a hit-and-run accident in Provo shared their memories in tribute days after her shocking death.Isabelle Parr was killed Thursday night while jogging, while the person who allegedly hit the 21-year-old has yet to be found.
"It was a hit when we found out about Izzy, it was a hit to our hearts," said Kelly Elggren, Parr's former boss."It was just so easy to see so many kind things about her," added co-worker Madeleine Ewell."I know a lot of people say that she was so special and no one can say a bad thing about her, and it is so true."
"The color yellow is so bright and so happy, I think there’s a lot of good feelings associated with that color and just knowing people pair her and the color yellow together. I think it’s an amazing thing," said Brooklyn Davies."I just feel like she was an angel. I mean, she is one now, she just had such a positive impact on everybody that she’s met," said Ewell.
