Lavender’s death was shocking for her close friends. It also hit all of Girdwood hard, said her friend Becks Rumey. Lavender was working at Girdwood Brewing Co. and the Sitzmark Bar & Grill, Myers said, so she was a familiar face to everyone in town. At just 2 or 3, the little girl from Florida showed an early love of winter when she climbed atop a heaping pile of snow while visiting New Hampshire with family.At age 10, she pointed out a camper van and told her parents she’d live there when she grew up — she wanted a life of adventure, not tied to one specific place.
Napolitano was one of the many friends who became roommates with Lavender during her first few summers in the state. Emma Wishau, who lived with her in 2015, said they packed into a two-bedroom apartment in Anchorage’s Fairview neighborhood that summer with five other newfound friends. During the summers, Lavender ended up realizing that early dream: She lived in a GMC van she transformed into a home, building a bed frame and cabinets for storage.Lavender’s stories sometimes worried her father to the point that he joked it’s why his hair turned gray. But she lived a life she loved.
