The Fort Wayne Wolfpack Softball organization is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Febie Booher, a cherished teammate, athlete, and photographer whose passing has left a deep void within the team and wider community. Known for wearing jersey number #21, Febie was remembered not only for her skill and competitiveness on the field but also for the kindness, positivity, and energy she brought to every moment shared with her teammates.
