Nagel, 47, of Wilder, was the only person killed in the Sunday morning crash, according to the Jackson Sun article.

She was a confidant, friend and go-to person for everything at the jail, continued the Campbell County social media post.

"Gracy will be missed for each of these things but most importantly for her smile and the love and care she had and gave to her family and to each of her Campbell County family," the social media post continued.

Nagel worked her way up the ranks after starting work at the jail on Sept. 17, 1997. She spent part of her career as a detective at the jail.
