A quiet but outgoing person who loved sports.

Army Sgt. 1st Class Lola Renee Bolden, 40, of Birmingham, AL, had been stationed in the Oklahoma City Recruiting Battalion for four months. At the time of her death, Bolden was survived by a 21-year-old daughter and two sons, Ricky Hill, 13, and Jonathan, 11. The 15-year Army veteran worked in the fourth floor recruiting station in the federal building. The single mother had transferred from Colorado to Oklahoma in January. Her son, Ricky, described his mother as kind and funny, and said she would have pillow fights and “stuff” with her kids.
