Sgt. 1st Class Merideth Howard loved being near water, whether it was in off the coast of Mexico or Hawaii, or even her hometown.

Howard, a former Corpus Christi resident, was killed Friday in Kabul, Afghanistan, after a car bomber smashed into an American Humvee carrying 15 other people. Howard and another U.S. soldier were killed in the attack, the Afghan capital’s deadliest suicide attack since the 2001 toppling of the Taliban.

Howard, 52, graduated from King High School in 1973 and earned a bachelor’s degree in marine resource management from Texas A&M University. She later moved to Alameda, Calif., where she met her husband.

Howard worked as a firefighter before starting a career as fire safety consultant before being called to active duty.
