MASSACHUSETTS---The woman who was married to the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died is being described as sweet and dedicated to the Islamic religion to which she converted. Katherine Russell Tsarnaev's high school art teacher says she was at the top of her class in drawing and an excellent student. She converted to Islam and wears the hijab, the traditional Muslim headscarf. Katherine stayed in the couple's Cambridge apartment last year while Tamerlan traveled to Russia for about six months.
