A plaque hangs on the wall at Port City Java on Front Street, commemorating the Holly Michelle Baughman Celebration Scholarship. Baughman was killed on River Road when her car crashed with a truck. Her friend Carolina Cropp said Baughman was on her way home from working at Port City Java when she was killed." I think of her as such a light soul, " said Cropp. " To remember her, I still come in here to see her picture. That doesn't hurt me. It's more to celebrate her life. "
