Emily Turner, a nursing student, knew Fatolu through her nursing clinical work at WakeMed Cary Hospital.
“She and I never exchanged many words, always a smile, nod and “how are you,” Turner said.
She said Fatolu worked on a different floor at the hospital but participated in a discussion at the end of their clinical work day wth her.
“Olu was a beautiful soul,” Turner said.
