By Laura Bryn Sisson | September 23, 2010

Jessica Sasha Bright '09, known as Sasha to friends and family, passed away on Sept. 11, her father, Arthur Bright, wrote in an obituary for her on the Marlatt Funeral Home website. Bright, who majored in psychology and minored in English with a concentration in creative writing, was born in Seattle and lived in Renton, Wash., according to her father's obituary. Bright loved to write from childhood, her mother, Mildred Bright, said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "She would get into the flow and wouldn't mind staying up until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, writing," Mildred Bright said. In her last terms at Dartmouth, Bright was excited to enroll in the writing classes she had always wanted to take, according to Pam Misener, assistant dean of student life in the Office of Pluralism and Leadership. "There were things about Dartmouth that Sasha loved, but she also loved being from the Pacific Northwest," Misener said.
