A fundraiser for the family of an airline ground crew employee who was killed at Montgomery Regional Airport after being “sucked into the engine” of a commercial plane has raised more than $70,000.

The worker killed in the incident was identified as 34-year-old Courtney Edwards by the Communications Workers of America. She was a mother of three.

Edwards, a ground agent for Piedmont Airlines, died on Dec. 31 after she was sucked into the engine of an Embraer E175 that was at the gate in Montgomery with the parking brake set, according to a statement from the National Transportation Safety Board.
