The start of a new year will kick off with a celebration of the life and legacy of Marlene Grasser.
One of the most accomplished, beloved athletes in Coupeville High School history, the two-time Female Athlete of the Year passed away at 46 last week after a valiant two-year battle with cancer.
A 1987 CHS grad, Grasser was a star in four sports — volleyball, basketball, softball and track — who went on to be a successful college volleyball player.
Her impact went far beyond what she accomplished on the athletic field, however, and her words continue to ring true for current Wolf athletes.

The family has arranged for graveside services at 1 PM Sat., Jan. 2, at Sunnyside Cemetery (90 Cemetery Rd., off of S. Sherman) in Coupeville.
That will be followed by a gathering of love, sharing and memories at 2 PM in the commons at Coupeville High School (501 S. Main).
Dress is casual. Marlene was a very devoted Seahawks fan, and the family encourages attendees to wear their favorite sports attire in her memory.
