Woman, 31 killed in Clearview Township collision identified
The woman killed in a collision in Clearview Township over the weekend that also injured several others, including a baby and child, has been identified.
Officials with Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) issued a statement on Monday, confirming 31-year-old Katie Marshall, a member of the Barrie hospital's security team, died in the crash on Saturday.
"She was fiercely protective of her team, a dedicated professional and, above all else, came to work every day to make a difference with a bright smile on her face," said Andrew Bell, Director, Emergency Management, Safety and Security.
"She had a strong connection with her family and would always tell stories about times at the farm, fishing with her dad, riding with her mom, spending quality playtime with her nephew, and, of course, living life with her real-life cowboy husband. Our deepest condolences to Katie's family, especially her husband, parents, and brother," RVH stated.
