Aggie Marsh was a 97-year-old resident of North Horizon Health Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, who died on November 14, 1984. Her death was one of several sudden fatalities at the facility that drew attention from staff and investigators when they occurred within a short time frame.

Court records show that Bobbie Sue Dudley Terrell, a 35-year-old registered nurse who began working at North Horizon on October 2, 1984, strangled Aggie Marsh. Terrell pleaded guilty in 1988 to second-degree murder for Marsh and three other elderly patients, and to attempted murder for a fifth resident who survived an insulin injection. Reports say two victims were killed by insulin injections and that witnesses described Terrell as emotionally distraught after the deaths; she showed no emotion at her court appearance. The prosecution reduced charges from first-degree to second-degree murder citing Terrell’s documented mental health issues and witness frailty.

Does anyone have memories of North Horizon in 1984 or information about Aggie Marsh’s time there?
