“Mary worked here for five years and was a very appreciated and loved member of our team, a fantastic nurse and a great example of what we represent at this Trust.
“She tested positive for Covid-19 after being tested on April 5 and was admitted to the hospital on April 7.
“Our thoughts and our deepest condolences go out to Mary’s family and friends at this sad time.”
