Throughout the service, Matter was described by many as a "magnetic, "charming," and a "joyful person who always had a smile on her face." Sara Ferden, a Winona State alumni and Matter's teaching assistant last year, gave an emotional speech about her experiences with Matter. She said Matter was a great mentor and teacher. Ferden said Matter taught her things that couldn't be taught in a classroom.
