Dallas (WBAP/KLIF) – The woman killed in the crane accident during powerful storms Sunday has been identified 29-year old Kiersten Symone Smith. Smith’s older sister posted a tribute to her on Facebook Monday.
Toni Smith said “Kiersten had a lot of great things happening in her life when it ended so tragically and abruptly.”
She said that what gives her peace is that she knows her sister was happy. The family has asked for privacy at this time and has referred all questions to a Houston Attorney. Smith was working as a human resources operations specialist at Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare.
In a statement tenet said that she was a “valued and dedicated member of their team…and a friend to everyone.”
Meantime, the company that owns the apartments hit by a fallen crane is telling residents they will not be able to move back into the building.
In a letter to the residents, Greystar says the Elan City Lights complex is “totally unusable,” and that all deposits, June rent payments will be refunded.
The company also says it’s providing $100 per diems and paying for resident hotels through Friday night. Residents are also receiving a 500 dollar allowance per apartment to help get back on their feet.
