SAN ANTONIO – A 911 dispatcher who spent her career helping others in their most critical moments has died after suffering a medical emergency while on duty.<\/p>\n
Samantha Woodward, a civilian call taker with the sheriff\u2019s office, was found unresponsive in a restroom at the dispatch center early Wednesday morning. She was taken to North Central Baptist Hospital, where officials later confirmed she had no brain activity.<\/p>\n
According to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office, Woodward is not expected to survive, and the incident was related to a medical condition.<\/p>\n
Woodward is remembered as someone who spent her career being a steady voice for others during emergencies, often helping callers through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.<\/p>\n
She is survived by two teenage sons, who colleagues say are \u201cextremely upset\u201d as they cope with the sudden loss of their mother. <\/p>\n
In a final act of service, Woodward\u2019s family has chosen to proceed with organ donation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – A 911 dispatcher who spent her career helping others in their most critical moments has…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":776239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-776238","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116525201220583023","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/776239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
