Not Forgotten: Abigail Schifferle before her death May 4.

Abigail Schifferle, a Chico State online student, fell to her death May 4 while hiking in Maui, Hawaii, where she was living, according to a university press release.

Schifferle graduated from Chico High School and Butte College Connection in 2006. She later moved to Philadelphia for two years to attend Temple University and fence on the NCAA Division-I foil team.

When she returned to Chico State, she helped form and coach the Chico State Fencing Club.

The university flag will be lowered in her memory.
