Darcy Misurelli Ogada has lived in Kenya for the past seven years. She married Kenyan Mordecai Ogada in 2003.

Darcy’s mom, retired field-hockey and lacrosse coach Jane Misurelli-Kuk, moved to northern Maine last year after running a bed-and-breakfast in Vermont for many years.

The class mourns the loss of Evangeline Westmore, who died in March of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Her colleagues in Inverness, Scotland, with whom she initiated major public-art projects, said, “In one fleeting year, Evi achieved so much and made a big impact on Inverness
and everyone who met her. She left the city a wonderful legacy.”
