Nancy was my classmate in the Ct. Police Academy 189th session in 1985. She was one of 3 women in the class of 35. She so soft spoken, well liked by everyone in the class. I can’t believe how fast time goes by ! When I drive through Naugatuck, she is always in my thoughts. Continue to rest in peace my classmate !!!
