Family speaks out after nanny, 24, killed in Florida Learjet crash
A final phone call between two sisters has become a heartbreaking memory after a private Learjet slammed into the ground in Florida, killing a 24-year-old nanny and eight others in a fiery crash.
Moments before boarding a flight bound for the Bahamas on Nov. 1, Ana María Ramírez Cetina called her sister to share her excitement about the trip.
“We did a video call. She showed me the children, she showed me the plane,” her sister, Angie Ramirez Cetina, told The U.S. Sun. “She was very happy.”
“She was truly happy because she had never been to the Bahamas, and even though she was working, she didn’t see it as work. She enjoyed it,” Angie continued.
Trip ends in tragedy
Known affectionately as Anita, the 24-year-old Colombian woman worked as a nanny for Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, the children of Adam Robinson and his wife, Helen Sharp.
The family was traveling from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when their Learjet 60 slammed in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing the couple, their children, Cetina, two family friends and both pilots, People reports.
Cetina, a biomedical engineer who had moved to the United States from Colombia in search of new opportunities, had grown close to the family and loved caring for the children.
“She loved the job she had. She loved the children very much. She loved the Robinson family dearly,” Angie told The U.S. Sun.
