FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz. Debra Ceschin was killed doing what she loved to do.

“She was just a beautiful soul, a great mother,” Tim Ceschin said.
The Ceschin family traveled to the Zion National Park and hiked for three days. Before returning to their home in Leesburg, Virginia, they took a detour to visit extended family in Fountain Hills.
