WBUR 6/1/12: Wayland To Remember Yale Grad. Saturday afternoon in Wayland, family and friends of Marina Keegan will gather for her funeral. The 22-year-old recent graduate of Yale University died last Saturday in a car accident on Route 6 on Cape Cod. Five days earlier, she had been on top of the world — an Ivy League degree in hand, magna cum laude. Keegan was a gifted writer, actress and campus activist, and she had been preparing to move to New York City for a job at the New Yorker magazine.
