Youth Pastor Josh Blankenship at Auburn Baptist Church said Lovell's death was a shock to a community that loved and cared for her.

She participated in Sunday School at Auburn, riding the bus every Sunday with her friends.

Blankenship says she will be missed dearly.

"Everybody is in shock. You ask yourself why this would happen to such a sweet, innocent, girl Nicole. She was the type of young lady that never, never met a stranger and was very faithful at the church. Loved the lord and was very loved by her family," said Blankenship.

Blankenship says he's asking everyone to keep Nicole's family in their prayers.
