In Memoriam

UPDATED April 2026

Since the days of the Roman empire, the words “in memoriam” (in memory) have been found on monuments and gravestones. None of us want to think about losing people we know, but the reality is that over the course of the years since our graduation, we have lost a number of our classmates. At the 50+ Reunion, we thought it was important to acknowledge those who have passed.

Laura Krampetz Cuevas is a lifelong artist and teacher who is on the reunion committee. She volunteered to create an in-memoriam display for the 51st Reunion. Using yearbook photos and electric votive lights, she made luminaries and set up a multi-level display that was set up in the corner of our event room.

We saw attendees walking around the display and sometimes thinking of a friend now gone, and sometimes discovering that someone they did not know had died was there.

If you open your yearbook, take a look at those who have passed or just remember someone noted here that you knew in high school, and send out a good thought or prayer.

The alphabetical list of classmates below is from the current class database and includes a date when one was found in an obituary or a “?” when the date is unknown. Women are listed by the last name used in our yearbook. Some class members’ obituaries have been posted on our private Facebook group.
