Join us in remembering Mary Fairhurst during a Celebration of Life at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at Saint Martin's University's Marcus Pavilion, Pacific Ave. SE, in Lacey, WA

We are saddened by the passing of retired Chief Justice Mary Fairhurst after a long battle with cancer. Justice Fairhurst was a legal luminary and ferocious advocate for justice. She was also an unwavering beacon of love and compassion and a friend to all who came into her life. Both aspects of Justice Fairhurst’s legacy have impacted the Washington State Bar Association, making it a better, stronger organization, as well as leaving indelible marks on many of our hearts. Her resolute belief in miracles, her contagious smile, and her effervescent aptitude to live life to the fullest will be sorely missed-they are also all reminders for us to live life in the same manner.
