Jessica Fontaine; New Britain Herald; Oct. 5, 2023

The Prudence Crandall Center (PCC) hosted a “Silent No More” Candlelight Vigil on Wednesday evening to honor those who lost their lives to domestic violence. The agency is entering its 50th year providing care to victims of domestic violence.

The vigil is sponsored by the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation and music was provided by the New Britain Symphony Orchestra. Several domestic violence survivors and family members of those lost to domestic violence shared their experiences.

Shenia Walker, sister of Tammie Walker and Taffie Walker-Dudley, was murdered in front of her four young sons. The PCC was the first organization to step in and help the family after the tragedy.
