On a beautiful, sunny late-winter Saturday in Anchorage, Campbell Creek Science Center filled with friends of Marnie Shepherd to remember and celebrate her life. The snow-covered Chugach Mountains that Marnie so loved created a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. George Rakos lead the service which included live music played by Ann Harding on cello, and Angela Palmer on violin, as well as a slideshow of photos of Marnie set to some of her favorite music that was put together by Naomi Bargmann. Many shared their memories of Marnie’s fun-loving and free-spirited nature, and of her competency as a Wildlife Biologist. Many others who could not be in attendance had their written thoughts and memories read to the audience. Marnie Shepherd was a wonderful friend and colleague to many in the Anchorage community. Her positive influence will carry on in us; we love her very much and always will.
