    Mary Moore, 88, Juneau, AK passed away peacefully at her daughter's home in Bellingham, WA June 20, 2016, surrounded by family. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer in May.    
    Mary was born April 21, 1928 in the small community of Leolyn in northern Pennsylvania, the eldest child of Samuel and Julia McNett. Up through eighth grade she attended a one-room schoolhouse, then moved on to Canton High School, where she gave the commencement address at graduation in 1945. She next studied at Mansfield State College, in 1950 obtaining a Bachelors of Science in Secondary Education, with majors in English and Social Studies, and a minor in Music Education.
    Eager to see the wider world, she applied to many school districts in the distant Territory of Alaska. She received an offer to teach at Wrangell High School, and in September 1950, accompanied by a trunk full of woolens, she rode the Canadian Pacific train cross-country and completed travel to her new job by DC-3 and Grumman Goose. By mid-winter, she was married to Odd B. Sundberg, a Wrangell gillnetter. Mary finished the school year, then transitioned from teacher to homemaker. Soon after their son Van was born, the young family relocated to Juneau in 1952 for better economic opportunities. Daughter Naomi was born in 1953 and son James arrived in 1957.
  With three young children and house payments straining the family budget, Mary returned to paid employment. Over the course of a 30-year career in airline reservations, primarily in the Baranof Hotel ticket offices, she worked for Pan American, Cordova, Pacific Northern, Western and Alaska Airlines in that order, and finally, Alaska Travel Services. Her specialty was international ticketing and tariffs. She retired in 1988 but continued to teach travel agent training sessions until 1992.
