Elizabeth Warke Brem, a former partner in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Orange County office in Irvine, Calif., died more than five years ago in a hiking accident on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Brem’s cousin Paula Ramirez was killed in the same tragic mishap during their vacation to the island paradise in December 2006.
