A celebration of life is being held in Moorhead on Friday for Liz Anne Conmy, who was killed alongside her partner in a plane crash in Brooklyn Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The celebration of life will take place at RiverHaven Events Center from 4:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. <\/p>\n
Those paying their respects are asked not to wear black in accordance with Conmy\u2019s wishes, who said that one shouldn\u2019t wear black to a funeral because it should be a celebration, and are asked to wear something colorful instead. <\/p>\n
North Dakota State Representative Conmy and her partner, Dr. Joseph Cass, a retired Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon, were killed when the Beechcraft F33A they were in crashed near Crystal airport.<\/p>\n
At this time, an investigation into what caused the crash is still ongoing.<\/p>\n
