St. Augustine Mayor Nancy Shaver suffered a stroke following Monday evening’s City Commission meeting while still at City Hall.

St. Augustine spokeswoman Melissa Wissel said in an email to WJCT News that Shaver was taken to Flagler Hospital and then transferred to Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville.

Wissel said Shaver is “resting and recovering well.” 

The mayor’s family thanked the community for its outpouring of well wishes and asked that flowers, cars or sentiments be held until she returns home.
