The intense fire largely consumed the Beechcraft Bonanza 35 aircraft, county Sheriff’s Office spokesman Henry Wofford said, but caused little damage to the vineyard itself.
“Shauna, a veterinarian at Columbia Pike, was a respected and trusted colleague and a cherished friend,” read a Facebook notice from the veterinary facility. “She was also a loving wife and mother. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her friends, family and loved ones.”
According to her biography at the veterinary practice’s website, Ms. Waite, a native of Southern California, was a graduate of the University of California at Davis and graduated from St. George’s University Veterinary School in Grenada.
