A tight-knit group of Oak Harbor High School alumni are reeling this week after learning one of their former classmates was killed in a car crash Thursday morning on State Highway 520 in Seattle.

Morgan Fick Williams, 58, was driving a Mazda Protege east near the Montlake Boulevard exit when a Ford Explorer being driven the wrong way on the highway collided with her. She was transported to Harborview Medical Center and Hospital in Seattle where she later died.

Williams was a 1973 graduate of Oak Harbor High School where she served as student body president.

She still kept up with a group of classmates long after she graduated from high school.

Morgan always maintained her friendships in Oak Harbor. She never left the class, said Mark Funk, who graduated with Williams.

He noted that Williams, who often rode the bus to work, drove from her Seattle home to her job at Eddie Bauer Thursday morning. She was planning to visit a former high school classmate who is in a hospice in Bellingham.

Pamela Marriott, who has known Williams since they were third-graders, was going to join her Thursday to visit their classmate. Plans changed once she, along with everyone else close to Williams, learned of the crash.

Its been horrible to say the least, Marriott said Friday morning.

Marriott, Williams and others were planning the 40th reunion for the class of 1973.

Marriott was a classmate of Williams at the former Clover Valley Elementary School and attended Oak Harbor High School when is was located on State Highway 20.
