A Woodinville woman is trying to rebuild after a house fire killed her husband, Don Webb, and destroyed the home and belongings they shared.

Angie Webb and her husband were home shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, when the fire broke out. Don escaped but went back inside to try to save Angie. He was unaware she had escaped through a window. He did not make it back out.

“He was her cornerstone and the love of her life. He was somebody who truly loved her back for the first time in her life,” Angie’s mom, Bonnie Webb, said.

Angie also lost her dog in the fire. Bonnie said the loss is overwhelming.

“She lost her purse. She lost the keys to her car. She lost her ID. She lost everything but the clothes on her back,” Bonnie said. “It’s silly, but she was losing weight. She was taking care of her health. Now this happens. I just hope it doesn’t send her into a really bad depression.”

A GoFundMe has been set up to pay burial costs and other expenses.
