Wainio died at 27 in the crash of United Airlines flight 93 in the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack. She was heading to a business meeting in San Francisco, California. Honor had just returned from a vacation in Europe where she had some troubles with her flights. Since she was scheduled on a flight that stopped in Denver?, Colorado, she changed her reservations to a direct flight into San Francisco at the last minute. Wainio was able to borrow a phone from a fellow passenger and contact her stepmother during the attack.
She is survived by her father, Ben Wainio; mother, Mary White; stepmother, Esther Heymann; brother, Tom, 30; and sister, Sarah, 14.
