Lobono is described by her mother as “an outgoing, athletic, Jesus lover, who was unapologetically herself. She had so many friends and family who loved being with her.”

We’re told she was a Steelers fan and loved unicorns. She also worked at Sport Clips and could do a “mean fade," according to her mother.

She says her daughter had many nicknames throughout her life, “Her friends called her Kady, her mom and dad called her Bub, and she lit up any room. She was beyond funny and super smart. Everyone just loved to be around her!”

Lobono’s mother says, “Evil took away our daughter, but it will not take away the memories and the joy the rest of our lives. God is a just God and we know his heart hurts with us. I am sure he has this.”

There have been no arrests in the case.
