Olympian Maggie Steffens is remembering her late sister-in-law Lulu Conner.

After Lulu tragically died at the age of 26 on July 23 after suffering a medical emergency as she was traveling to Paris to cheer Maggie on at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Maggie—who is married to Lulu’s brother Bobby Conner—and her family are remembering all Lulu was as they grapple with her loss.

“She was a go-getter, and she made everyone around her smile,” Maggie told People Sept. 19. “So Bobby and I have been trying to live like Lu every day and really focus on that. At the same time, give ourselves the space and gratitude, and kindness to try to reflect and process what’s happened because we’re still in shock.”  

Noting that she and the Conner family are “still processing” Lulu’s death, Maggie added, “With Lulu’s passing, we just want to honor her—her spirit, her light, her joy she brought the world.”

The 31-year-old athlete called Lulu the “little sister that I never got to have,” noting that bond only strengthened after her November 2023 wedding to Bobby.

But amid their collective heartbreak, Maggie has found the silver lining in her grief journey, sharing, “We’re really lucky that we’re still here and we get to feel her every day and honor her and be together with family.”
