Flu, pneumonia blamed in death of Martin aide
WEATHERFORD-An instructional aide for special needs children at Mary Martin Elementary School has died from complications apparently brought on by Type A influenza and pneumonia.
Students and staff members at Weatherford ISD?s Mary Martin Elementary School are mourning the loss of Angela Ward, who passed away Monday evening at Plaza Medical Center in Fort Worth.
Ward was first hospitalized at Weatherford Regional Medical Center on Friday afternoon after a brief illness which began on Wednesday evening.
A release from WISD stated she was transferred from Weatherford Regional Medical Center to Plaza Medical Center following the first of two cardiac arrests. A series of tests indicated pneumonia and Type A influenza.
?Our hearts go out to the Ward family in the devastating loss of their wife, mother, and family member,? WISD Superintendent Dr. Deborah Cron said. ?Angie was a valued team member of Martin Elementary and Weatherford ISD. She will be missed by the children she served, the staff she worked with, and the families of the Martin community.?
District and campus administrators sent letters home with Mary Martin students at the end of the day and provided additional counselors at the campus.
Ward, 43, had worked at Martin Elementary since August 2005. She is survived by her husband, Robert, and three children: Preston, Madison, and Coleton.
Funeral services are pending at this time.
