“Woodbridge Township suffered a terrible loss early Sunday afternoon with the passing of First Ward Councilwoman Nancy Bader Drumm. Nancy fought a very courageous nine month battle with cancer.
She was just re-elected to her third term on the Council and would have been sworn in tomorrow night. Nancy was in politics, but she was not a politician. Nancy was purely a public servant who thoroughly enjoyed her time on the Council because she was able to help people which was her passion. She would do anything for anybody at any time.
She was an amazingly positive person who lit up the room wherever she was. She never spoke ill of anyone and nobody ever spoke bad about her. It was simply impossible to be sad or mad if you were around Nancy Drumm.
She leaves behind a husband, mother, son, daughter and two grandchildren but she also leaves behind a huge extended family of all the people who knew her as a friend, all who worked with her as a colleague, and all who knew her as the Councilwoman who improved their quality of life due to her commitment and dedication to the people of Woodbridge Township. You all know we are the best town around because we have the best team around – but our team is not as strong today as it was just days ago because we lost a cherished and valuable teammate.
