Krystle Campbell, 29, a 2001 Medford High School graduate and Arlington resident, died in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing.

A 29-year-old Medford native died in the Boston Marathon terror attacks yesterday, WCVB is reporting.

Krystle Campbell was a 2001 graduate of Medford High, WCVB reported.

The Boston Globe reported that Campbell was most recently an Arlington resident.

Her father, William A. Campbell Jr., told Yahoo News that his daughter was at the finish line to cheer on her boyfriend who was running in the marathon.

On WHDH, Medford Mayor Michael McGlynn said he spoke with Campbell's family within the last half-hour and offered the city's support and assistance. McGlynn said that her father called Campbell "the daughter everyone dreamed of having—loved life, very energetic and had a big smile."

Campbell's LinkedIn profile listed her job as general manager at Summer Shack in Hingham. The restaurant's Twitter account tweeted, "The Summer Shack family is devastated by the loss of our beloved Krystle Campbell. Please keep her & her family in your thoughts & prayers."

Her grandmother told the Globe that Campbell had recently moved to Arlington, having lived the past couple years with her grandmother in Somerville to help her through an illness.

Three people died in Monday's bombing, including Campbell and 8-year-old Martin Richard of Dorchester. The third fatal victim from the Marathon attack has not been identified yet.
