The day after, members of Mellanie Isnerâs family gathered at her home.
Isner had owned and operated the Alaska Liquor Store at the Stedman Street site since 2004, but her working life stretched back to Jan. 2, 1963 when sheâd started a 20-year career in banking. In the mid-1980s she switched to owning and operating the Alaska Bar and Liquor Store at two  downtown Ketchikan locations, retiring momentarily before restarting at Stedman Street.
But what now?
Among the family members present at Isnerâs home was Jessica Isner, the youngest of Mellanieâs three daughters. Jessica had been managing the Alaska Liquor Store since 2005.
