A Sad Day in Coventry: On Sunday morning, the Coventry community lost an amazing woman, educator, child advocate, and friend - Nancy Sprengelmeyer. Apart from serving as School Committee Vice Chair, Nancy was a dedicated teacher, role model and friend to not only her former students, but anyone who knew her. Nancy was one of the first people to welcome me when Coventry Patch first began and never failed to give a hug and a "Hi, Honey!" whenever I saw her. She will be greatly missed. Memorial service information will be made public at her family's discretion.
