Justene, because we knew you - we have been changed for good.

We are heartbroken to share that our dear friend Justene Pierce passed away suddenly and far too soon.

Justene’s vibrant energy, infectious laugh, and giving heart touched everyone she met. She was a constant source of light - always volunteering, supporting friends, and making people feel seen and cared for.

Help us raise funds to cover funeral expenses and celebrate her life the way she lived - with love, joy, and community. Your donation will help cover expenses for her festive Celebration of Life event, which will be held the last week of February 2026 in Southern California (information to follow).

Anything raised beyond our $5,000 goal will be given to her children - Drew Pratt ’08 and Sierra Dunah ’19.

Thank you for taking a few moments to remember Justene’s humanitarian spirit – in doing so, we will keep her legacy of kindness alive.

With love and gratitude,

Friends of Justene
