Sue Alstrom

Sue Alstrom, 77, died of cancer at her home in Belfair, WA on October 13, 2024. Sue was born April 18, 1947 in Aberdeen, WA to Mildred and Clifford Henderson. She would say she grew up as a city girl, but lived most of her years enjoying being a country farm girl. As Sue J. Henderson, she attended Weatherwax Senior High School in Aberdeen, graduating in 1965. She married her high school sweetheart Ted Alstrom in January 1967. The couple made their home in Belfair since 1971. Sue enjoyed traveling around the USA and Victoria, B.C., Canada. In 1984, they moved to their farm and she enjoyed their gardens, horses, sheep, chickens, cats and dogs. She enjoyed riding her horses, spinning her sheep's wool and knitting and weaving the yarn; and she was also an avid paperback book reader.

Sue attended the Olympic College nursing program and graduated in 1971. As a Registered Nurse, she went to work at Mason General Hospital in Shelton, WA and retired after 34 years.

She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Theodore E. Alstrom, her cousin-sister Joan Katola and numerous in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews. A memorial will be announced at a later time.
