In Memorium: Isabel Villar
Our friend and longtime PPS member, Isabel Villar passed away last evening after a long battle with cancer.Isabel was a very unique person. She was born in Chile but lived here for many years. She participated in most of the field trips we offered and was always excited about learning more from our more experienced photographers. She was a bright inquisitive person who had a strong belief in herself. She was a happy, warm person with an incredible smile and unique way of seeing. She will be greatly missed.
Isabel Tapia Villar

Resided and passed away in Portland, Oregon, USA -
