Martha Levensaler

Martha was a dear friend. We walked to school together everyday from 4th grade through 9th. There were various routes to school and she determined our way each day. She arranged our social plans in junior high. One summer night on Bear Island she got the entire boat, the Mount Washington to sing her Happy Birthday, as it passed by, while she danced and swayed from the island. She was a leader from the word go. I valued her friendship deeply.
I lost touch with her after college. The last...

Goodbye, Martha. Rest in peace. I will miss you and the fun times we had. My thoughts and prayers go to Dick and family.

Namaste

Martha shined with such light and energy. I was so fortunate to be able to work with her at the beginnings of AWEN while I was working for The Nature Conservancy way back when. Her energy and love for life and Alaska was contagious. I am grateful for the short time we worked side by side and am so saddened and know she is terribly missed by all who knew her. Yes - what a champion. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones - may they find peace in this painful time.

Martha was a champion for conservation, and especially a champion of women in the conservation community. My life is richer because I knew her and had a chance to work with her. The world is less without her here. I will miss her as a colleague and kindred spirit.

Martha was a bright light in any group of people, a true friend of the earth. She was loved and will be greatly missed.

Martha was an amazing woman. The world was lucky to have her as a champion as long as it did. (NWF Colleague)

Martha was someone I eagerly looked forward to seeing at League of Conservation Voters conferences. Vibrant, lovely Martha, how you will be missed. To Martha's family and other loved ones, I offer my sincere condolences.

I went to school for one year with Martha in 1973 in Concord, NH.
Amazingly we found each other again here in Alaska and rekindled our friendship. I'm so glad we did and so sad to lose her all over again. My heart goes out to you Dick and all who knew and loved her.
