WINTER SPRINGS - A 62-year-old woman died after a shooting at her home before dawn today -- one day before she was to get married.

Killed was Nancy Lynne Dinsmore, a retiree who lived at the house with John J. Tabbutt, her husband-to-be, also 62.

They were to be married Saturday at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Winter Springs, according to friends and family.

It was to be a small ceremony, said Dinsmore's son-in-law, Scott Sposato, 39, of Vero Beach. It was to include mostly family, he said.

"They loved each other. It was quite apparent," he said.

Dinsmore and Tabbutt had lived together for about a year, he said, but had known each other for much longer. The couple has a summer home in Maine and had recently returned from there to Tabbutt's gray-and-white stucco home near Tuscawilla, he said.
