Kim Ward didn’t set out to be a politician. She chose to be a respiratory therapist.
But when she crossed paths with a young intern-turned AIDS activist, it sparked an interest in government and how she could play a role in it.
That was a lesson along with a few others, including ones instilled in her by her 82-year-old mother Joanna Renko, that helped Ward secure her place in Pennsylvania history.
Jennifer Hayes died of COVID-19 and double pneumonia on Aug. 28 at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville.
The Arab woman and her husband, Bobby Hayes, contracted COVID-19 in July. He recovered in about a week. She just couldnât shake it.
She spent a week in Huntsville Hospital and three weeks in Vanderbilt.
Jennifer worked at Legacy of Hope, Alabamaâs organ donor organization.
Her coworkers nominated her to be part of the Rose Paradeâs Donate Life float for the Rose Parade.
Unfortunately, because of COVID, the Rose Parade was canceled.
In its place will be âThe Rose Parade New Year Celebration,â airing at 10 a.m. Friday (New Yearâs Day) on WAAY TV Channel 31. Part of the special will honor healthcare heroes, including Jennifer.
