Friends, artists and fellow turtle watchers remembered Lucinda Hathaway, who passed away in August, at the Sarasota Farmers Market on Saturday, Nov. 9. The Longboat Key Turtle Watch, along with their Anna Maria counterpart and artisan friends from Sarasota Urban Sketchers passed out turtle-related door hangers at the Sarasota Farmers Market in memory of their longtime member. 

Hathaway was an artist, educator and avid turtle protector. Her artisan friends from Sarasota Urban Sketchers painted 20 door hangers reminding folks to turn out the lights and protect sea turtles and joined the Turtle Watch to pass them out to people at the Farmers Market and keep Hathaway's legacy alive.
