WINDHAM — Brigitte N. Osgood, 35, of Windham died unexpectedly in her sleep on Dec. 3, 2011.
She was born in Portland on Jan. 18, 1976, the daughter of Pamala (Bacheldor) Golder of Sebago and the late Bernard Golder, Sr.

Brigitte attended schools in Cape Elizabeth and was a graduate from Lake Region High School in Naples in 1994. Her passion was fashion modeling and photography.
