Ron and Kathy Horner would like to announce the marriage of their daughter, Richelle Horner, to Tommy Stasenko, son of Rachel and Rich Stasenko of Shishmaref.

The wedding party included Tommy’s daughter Alora Stasenko, and Richelle’s sisters Natalie Horner (Walls) and Ariana (Horner) Sutherland as bridesmaids. Nieces Beth Kokeok, Annabeth Huntington and Katherine Paniptchuk were flower girls. The groom was attended by Mat Turner, Dennis Sinnok and John Kokeok as groomsmen.   The Ring Bearer was nephew Cohen Kokeok. Ushers included the bride’s brothers, James and Nolan Horner.

The newlyweds continue to live in Nome where Richelle works at Norton Sound Regional Hospital as a registered nurse, and Tommy works for Bering Straits Native Corporation.
