24-year-old Samya Stumo, a Sheffield native and an alumna of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, was one of 157 passengers killed in the Ethiopian Airlines crash of a Boeing 737 Max shortly after it took off from Addis Ababa airport in Ethiopia on March 15.
Stumo also graduated from Mount Everett Regional High School in Sheffield when she was just 16.
