Obituary for ROOT
ROOT, MARY ALICE (SIMS) an influential New Mexico naturalist, dies at 89 (April 26, 1923 to January 31, 2013) surrounded by family in Edina, Minnesota. A world traveler and passionate bird watcher from the age of five, Mary visited over 60 countries to observe birds. She was born and raised in Indianapolis and graduated in 1946 from Butler University with a degree in Physics and Math. In 1947, she married L. Jay Root of Indianapolis, shortly before they moved to Albuquerque. She reluctantly left her beloved New Mexico in 2009, to move to Minnesota for treatment of lymphoma and to be near her son's family. Mary was active in the Pi Beta Phi sorority and in the Panhellenic Council. She started her career in 1950's as a teaching assistant in physics at the University of New Mexico, and retired from UNM in 1988 as an administrator in the Biology Department. At UNM she often battled stereotypes against women, gaining many allies and lifelong friends who admired her grit and determination. While working, she took numerous classes in Spanish, anthropology and biology including ornithology. In 1970's, she was instrumental in starting the Albuquerque chapter of Audubon Society and was President of the New Mexico Ornithological Society (NMOS). She gave talks and led birding trips during the annual Festival of the Cranes at Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge annually from 1989 to 2008. She was keenly interested in fossil birds, lectured often on bird evolution and wrote several articles (e.g. Root, M. A. 1997. The Creaceous-Teriary fossil birds in New Mexico. New Mexico's Fossil Record I: New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin. Vol 11). She was highly instrumental in obtaining the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNHS) exhibit of the giant Eocene bird Diatryma (Diatrymas gastronis), first described from fossils found in 1874, in the San Juan Basin near Cuba, NM. She tracked down the fossil bones at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, raised the $10,000 it took to have scientifically precise replicas made of all the bones, which were sent to NMMNHS and assembled. The exhibit of this 6.5 feet tall bird has been displayed since 2001. After she retired, she tirelessly entered bird observation data into the NMOS Bird Siting Database, and was given the NMOS Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. In her forties, she began running, winning many races in her age group well into her 60's. She also joined a Jacki Sorensen's aerobic dance class in her forties and exercised with the same class into her eighties. Weekly for over 30 years, she and a friend walked the path around the North UNM Golf Course. A public celebration of Mary's life will be Saturday, May 4, 2013, at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque at 6:30 pm. Please bring photos of Mary to exhibit the celebration. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Mary Alice Root Fund for the Museum's Junior Docent Program, NMMNHS Foundation, P. O. Box 25446, Albuquerque, NM 87125. Mary is survived by her daughter Dana, son-in-law Kris Hansen, their children Kyla and Ross, and Ross' wife Justine (Curry); her daughter Terry; her son Bryan, daughter-in-law Valerie (Leach), their children Sam, Brandon, and Justin, Sam's wife Mindy (Sell) and their children (Mary's great-grandchildren) Noah, Becca Joy, Alton, and Catherine; and her brother Daniel Sims, his wife Carol and their children Gregory and Scott, and Gregory's wife Kimberly and Scott's wife Eileen. Preceding Mary in death were her ex-husband L. Jay Root, brother Lawrence Sims, sisters Margaret Sims and Irene (Sims) Hardman, and Terry's husband Stephen H. Schneider.

Obituary for RIGGS
RIGGS, SHERALYN Our friend, Sheralyn Riggs, better known as Sherri, passed out of this life on January 11, 2013. She fought a fierce battle against cancer, enjoying life much longer than her doctor's would have imagined. She remained upbeat and made her decisions based on her beliefs and desires. Sherri loved photography, nature and creating something from nothing. She described herself as an artist rather than a scientist and indeed she was. Her many careers spanned from marine biologist, small business owner, professional photographer, landscape designer, and metal sculptor. Her most recent was a blacksmith, where she used "found art" recycling material to produce "future heirlooms". She was a member of SWABA, providing a role model for women in the blacksmithing world. Sherri was featured in the book "Passion and Power, Iron Artists in the Western US." Sheri was generous, freely teaching others and sharing her artistic visions. She was appreciated for her incredibly bright outlook on life, humor, insight and love. She was honest, caring and kept us on our toes, holding us to a higher standard. It was her wish, to have her friends remember her with a joyous, life-celebrating gathering at her home this spring, (date to be determined). Her free spirit should not be contained in just one place. We are confident that everywhere her essence comes back to earth will always be a place of peace, harmony and beauty. Her friends knew her as an independent and powerful woman. We will all miss her and be lessened by her absence. Our love and her memory will never fade.

Obituary for POPE
POPE, WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN Age 71, partner, father, guitarist, author and enthusiast, died February 15, 2013 in Albuquerque, NM. Bill Pope was born on February 2, 1942 in St. Helena, CA to Eleanor B. and Earl H. Pope. He is survived by his partner, Pam Barncastle; his three children, Christine Silloway, Jennifer Pope and Michael Pope; and his granddaughter Keira Silloway. Bill came from a long line of decorated Naval officers and is a direct decedent of Roger Sherman who signed the Declaration of Independence, Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman and astronomer Edmond Halley of Halley's comet fame. He was proud of this family legacy and it fueled his interest in history, both human and beyond. He graduated from UNM in 1976 with a Bachelor of University Studies degree and again from the University of Albuquerque in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Bill co-authored a book called Ice Age Animals of the Rio Grande Valley (Natural Sales Ltd., 1975) and a chart of the geologic time for the central New Mexico area. To know Bill was to know his passions: flamenco guitar, paleontology, archeology, astronomy, gardening and, later in his life, caring for adults with special needs. He had a gift for making people smile with his generosity of spirit and his wonderful, quirky sense of humor; his favorite limerick was "A diner while dining at Crewe/ Found a very large mouse in his stew./ Said the waiter, 'Don't shout/ And wave it about,/ Or the rest will be wanting one too." He was an avid reader and knew a little (sometimes a lot) about almost every subject in the world. Bill, his humor and his guitar will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to Share Your Care Inc., PO Box 35101, Albuquerque, NM 87176, www.shareyourcare.org. A memorial service will be held at a later date. The good stuff never changes. Daniels Family Funeral Services 7601 Wyoming Blvd, NE Albuquerque, NM 87109 (505) 821-0010 www.danielsfuneral.com
