It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our colleague and friend, Sally Bridges, who passed away on May 30th. Sally was a beloved member of our Penobscot community and was a dedicated servant of the town in her 11 years as the town clerk, as a member of the Penobscot Fire Department, and a parishioner and member of several committees at the United Methodist Church. She was not just a colleague but our good friend as well. Our condolences to her family in this time of sadness.
