Grafton’s Philie completes virtual Boston Marathon in memory of sister
Diane (Nichols) Philie (GHS class of 1991) ran the Boston Marathon in memory of her sister, Joanne (Nichols) Rokes (GHS class of 1994) who lost her battle with Malignant Melanoma, at the age of 37.
She completed her virtual marathon on Friday, 9/11 which would have been Joanne’s 45th birthday. It only seems fitting to remember her in this special way.
