Nurse Remains Saver of Life, Even in Death

In life, nurse Rebecca Anderson gave from her soul to those in need. In death, she gave her heart.

The heart of the volunteer rescue worker who died after Wednesday's explosion at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was transplanted into another Oklahoma resident.

The recipient, William Wilcoxon, 55, of Duncan, was working at a Louisina casino when notified of the hearts availability.

She was not injured in the blast, only after she went downtown to help as a licensed practical nurse. On Monday, hedr husband, Fred Anderson, received a report from an apparent eyewitness that a piece of concrete had fallen onher head inside the Murrah building. The witness told a reporter he could not confirm the account, saying he did not see her injury, but heard about it from others. The blow to her head was not evident until she collapsed outside the building sometime later.
