MILWAUKEE — The woman who died in Friday's crash on I-894 near National Avenue was identified by family as Xuan Nguyen Rollmann. They say she went by "Mimi."
She was a wife, a mother of two young children and a nail technician in the area.
Family described Mimi as outgoing, very intelligent and someone who loved her kids more than anything.
She was in the process of getting her Masters degree in education at UWM and just returned from a 6-week trip to Vietnam with her two little ones. She was only home from that trip for one week before Friday’s deadly crash took her life.
