MOSCOW, Ind. (AP) — A woman severely injured when a tornado hit the Rush County town of Moscow in June has died.

Sixty-seven-year-old Diane Hester died Sunday at a hospice in Indianapolis. James Todd of Todd Funeral Home in Rushville says Hester had developed complications from her injuries.

Rescue workers said she was impaled in the upper chest by a 3-inch diameter tree limb when the June 3 tornado leveled her home about 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis. It also destroyed the town's landmark 19th century covered bridge.

Hester's funeral is scheduled for Saturday at Moscow Christian Church with burial in Moscow Cemetery. She was a preschool teacher and a homemaker. Her survivors include a son, a daughter, two stepsons and seven grandchildren.
