A woman killed over the weekend in a fiery desert crash has been identified as a much-loved Oceanside native who worked 13 years in the city’s Police Department.
Brett Ann Gregory, 53, worked 10 years as a community service officer in the department’s front office, where she helped people with police reports, fingerprints and other walk-in services. She became a 911 emergency dispatcher in 2015.
“She dealt with the public with grace and dignity,” said Bonnie Stauffer, communications supervisor for the Police Department. “She was loved by all. There’s not a better person that I know.”
Gregory was on her way to meet her family for a weekend campout when the collision occurred, Stauffer said.
