Second victim identified

A second of the 26 victims killed at Sandy Hook School has been identified.

Mary Sherlach, 56, had been the school psychologist at Sandy Hook Elementary School for nearly 20 years, beginning her work there in 1994.

Former school superintendent John Reed praised her Friday as a person of warrmth, caring and intelligence.

“If there ever was a person, by qualifications and personality, to work with children, to be a school psychologist, it was Mary,’’ Reed said.

Sherlach previously had worked in Redding, North Haven and New Haven as a school psychologist. She and her husband, Bill, a financial consultant, lived in Trumbull. They have two adult daughters.
