‘Amazing’ woman among 6 killed in St. Lucie County tornadoes

WPTV has confirmed through family members that a 66-year-old woman was among at least six people killed Wednesday from a tornado outbreak across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach.

The victim, identified as Deborah Kennedy, was one of those who died inside the hard-hit Spanish Lakes Country Club. She lived off San Felipe road in the senior community.

Family members also told WPTV that Kennedy’s boyfriend was found severely injured outside what used to be their house.

Kennedy’s daughter told WPTV she was an “amazing person”:

“I would like the world knowing what an amazing person my mother was, that she was the best mother anybody could ask for. She was always there to listen, always there for anything. She was an amazing grandmother and my daughter and her other grandchildren love her so much. My mom has been my best friend for years, absolutely incredible with my dad. He was sick and she left her job to take care of him full-time. Just an amazing person.”
