Senator Hochadel Statement on the Passing of Former Senator Mary Daugherty Abrams

Senator Jan Hochadel, D-Meriden, released the following statement today on the passing of former Senator Mary Daugherty Abrams.

“The passing of Mary Daugherty Abrams is a profound loss for both Meriden and Connecticut as a whole. She was a compassionate public servant and an educator who used her creativity and empathy to improve the lives of everyone she encountered. Her dedication to her community and her commitment to making a difference were remarkable. For me, Mary was an inspiration. She was a friend, a mentor, and one of the nicest people I have known. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to follow in her footsteps. My heartfelt condolences go out to her husband, Jim, their children, and all who were fortunate to know her.”
