âMarty was a force of nature. She was indomitable in her vision and advocacy for environmental conservation,â chair Jerry Storey said.
The board members, along with close coworkers and friends of Illick, spoke about the tenacity and kindness she brought to her advocacy work that will be missed dearly by the community.
