I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of my dear friend Nancy Benedetto who passed away this morning. The following press release provides details. CRESTWOOD - Longtime Village of Crestwood Clerk, Nancy Benedetto passed away Thursday morning, August 22, 2013, surrounded by family at her home in Crestwood. Mayor Lou Presta said that he met Nancy 24 years ago when he began service to the community as a Village Zoning Board Commissioner. “Nancy was always extremely helpful to me,” Presta said. “I was impressed from the moment I met her by the depth of knowledge she had for Village administration and the level of commitment she held for the residents of Crestwood”. Nancy moved to Crestwood in 1959 settling into the Playfield subdivision. She initially stayed at home raising her young son, Bill with her mother, Lillian Benedetto, until accepting a position with the Village working for Village Clerk, Joan Dwyer. In 1981, Dwyer stepped down as Clerk and Nancy was elected to the position. Throughout her years as Clerk, Nancy witnessed many changes to the Village and was instrumental in ushering in many improvements. Nancy is survived by her son Bill Venegas and his wife Tish, her granddaughter Stephanie Venegas and her brother, John.
