Judy Wilson-Griffin, a nurse from St. Louis, Missouri, was one of the first people to die from coronavirus in the region, according to a statement from SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital.

Wilson-Griffin died Friday, March 20, according to the hospital.

She was a perinatal clinical nurse specialist and was also known for being an "incredible educator, leader and friend to all," the statement said.

Wilson-Griffin was "instrumental" in starting the St. Mary's Maternal Transport Program more than a decade ago, according to the statement.

"Her passion and dedication was second to none," an unnamed colleague is quoted as saying in the statement. "She was a hero in the truest sense."
