Shirley Obert, 67, was found dead after she was involved in a car accident, the Daily Mail reported. The Georgian woman, who initially went missing on Saturday, managed to escape her vehicle after it crashed, only to fall down a well, ending her life. The mother-of-four’s family members joined authorities in frantically looking for Obert, who was last seen in a red shirt and black pants (police claim it might have been a Chick-fil-A work uniform). Officials discovered her body on Monday at the bottom of a “deep well that was surrounded by very thick brush” close to where her car was found. “Mrs. Obert appeared to have been trying to go for help when this incident occurred. This appears to be a tragic accident,” Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “Please keep her family and her co-workers in your thoughts and prayers.” It is not yet known what caused the car accident or how she ended up in the well. Obert will be remembered as a devoted wife to her husband Mike and a “friend to many,” according to her GoFundMe page. As of Monday afternoon, more than $7000 has been raised to support her loved ones.
