On January 3, 2010, Resa Ellison, St. Vladimir’s alumna ('03) and choir director at St. Mary’s Orthodox Cathedral in Minneapolis, passed from this life to the hope of “all who have loved His appearing” (2 Tim 4:7–9). Resa’s sister, Rachel Leake, also an SVS alumna, has written a touching tribute to her sister, which well expresses her vibrancy and dedication to the Church: http://www.stmarysoca.org/resa/.
