Macdonough Third Grader Passes Away

Alondra Hernandez, age 8, has passed away at Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, after experiencing an aneurysm on Tuesday while at school. Alondra was a sweet and wonderful young lady who touched the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. She is the beloved daughter of Mayra Sanchez, stepmother Nydia Marrero, and father Andres Hernandez, and leaves behind her older brothers and sister, and an extended family of uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

A third grader in Miss Morello's class at Middletown's Macdonough Elementary School, Alondra will be remembered as a treasured friend, an exceptional young artist, and an enthusiastic member of Oddfellows Playhouse. She earlier attended both Moody Elementary and Bielefield Elementary in Middletown.

This tragic loss is felt deeply by the school community and throughout Middletown.
