Vigil to Honor Teen Killed in 2011 Crash

Rolling Hills Estates resident Annamay Naef died Oct. 5, 2011 in an early-morning car crash.

A service to honor the life of Annamay Naef will take place at 5 p.m. Friday on the one-year anniversary of her death.

Annamay, a 16-year-old student at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School, died the morning of Oct. 5, 2011, when her boyfriend's car crashed into a pole at the corner of Hawthorne Boulevard and Palos Verdes Drive North in Rolling Hills Estates.

On Friday, local boy scouts will install new signs at the head of the trail leading up to the teen's house, according to a post on the RIP Annamay Naef Facebook page. At the suggestion of community members, the city agreed to rename the trail spur after Annamay.

Rock Bluff Park is located at the corner of Palos Verdes Drive North and Hawthorne Boulevard. Organizers request that vigil attendees park on Moccasin Lane.
