Community mourns woman killed by tree branch
The Davis woman fatally injured by a falling tree limb at Slide Hill Park on Tuesday has been identified as 44-year-old Jennifer Comey, according to Sacramento County coroner’s officials.
Comey, her husband Ted Pitts and their daughter Margaret, now 3, moved to Davis from Ohio a year and a half ago when Pitts joined UC Davis’ King Hall School of Law as its statistics and metadata librarian, according to a GoFundMe page created by the family’s friends and neighbors, Alison and Joaquin Feliciano.
Comey’s family asked for privacy when contacted by a Davis Enterprise reporter Thursday afternoon, and UCD officials also declined to release additional information.
