Forest Lawn – Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles was filled with people on Sunday for the funeral of “Star Trek” actress Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the wife of the science-fiction series’ creator, Gene Roddenberry. More than 250 people, including friends, family and fans of the series, came to lead Roddenberry on her last way.

Roddenberry died on December 18 at her home in Bel-Air, at the age of 76. Nichelle "Lt. Uhura" Nichols, George "Mr. Sulu" Takei and Walter "Mr. Chekov" Koenig came at the funeral to show their deepest condolence to her family and to honor their ex-colleague’s memory.

Three of the people who attended the funeral wore Star Fleet Academy formal tunics and others of them were sporting "Star Trek" rings, pins or medallions.
Roddenberry interpreted the Number One character in the original pilot of the “Star Trek” series. Later, the dark-haired turned into Nurse Christina from 1966 to 1969 in the original show. At the end of her career involving “Star Trek,” she used to be the voice of the ship’s computer.

She was usually referred to as “the First Lady of Star Trek.” Gene Roddenberry and she got married on August 6, 1969 in Japan, after the cancellation of the original “Star Trek” series. In many roles, she was involved in every dramatic incarnation of the series franchise, including live-action and animated versions, television and cinema.

The Union Pacific Railroad used her voice for their track-side defect detector devices, which was later used in various locations west of the Mississippi River.

Regarding her life and “Star Trek,” we might say Roddenberry had her own franchise wearing her own name. Yet, the leukemia complications ended her life and talent at 76 years old.
