Network for Endangered Sea Turtles
N.E.S.T. Volunteers
In Loving Memory of Barbara E. Mason (N.E.S.T. Volunteer)
Barbara E. Mason, a resident of Kitty Hawk, entered into rest suddenly on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at the place she loved the most, the Outer Banks of
North Carolina. She is a former resident of Spotsylvania, VA; and was president of the Title Company of Virginia of Fredericksburg. After retirement,
she was an active member of N.E.S.T. (Network for Endangered Sea Turtles) rescuing injured, stranded sea turtles and other beach wildlife on the Outer Banks.
She loved and lived the beautiful sunrises, long walks on the beach, and capturing gorgeous photographs. Barbara’s charm and wit touched the lives of so many;
she is loved and will be greatly missed.
A mother, daughter, sister, and true friend – she remains forever in our hearts.
Marilyn was honored at the 2010 NC Sea Turtle Permit Holder's meeting as the volunteer who logged the most number of volunteer hours in North Carolina. As this year's Education Committee chair, Marilyn has been spreading the good word about sea turtle conservation to thousands. At schools, festivals, marathons and beyond, Marilyn and her team has been seen everywhere this year. She has even traveled as far as Raleigh in these efforts.
Kudos to Marilyn!
