,k Sue E. Johnson OBITUARIES Sue E. Johnson, 75, of Shelton, died peacefully of natural causes at her home on January 20th. Sue was well known in the community for her faith, kindness and service.

Sue was a committed mother raising 5 children: Deborah, Daniel, David, Dale and Steven. Even with a house full of children, Sue had a strong philosophy that there was always room at the table for more - it was common to have foster kids, foreign exchange students and visitors in the mix at most meals. Sue was a graduate of Pacific Lutheran University where she did her undergraduate work and earned a Masters of Education. Using that education she was a kindergarten and 5th grade teacher for 16 years in the Shelton School District. She also taught piano lessons to inmates at the local penitentiary.

Her faith and commitment to service was not confined to Shelton. She traveled frequently to the Middle East working through the faith community for peace. She loved to read, was a published author and an avid knitter. Her favorite place to spend time with family was Holden Village, a faith based retreat center in the North Cascades. She was an activist fighting for and contributing to many causes dear to her; and she served on the international Board for Evangelicals for Middle East Understanding. Sue will be deeply missed by her family including: her devoted husband Carl of 57 years; daughter Deborah Killough (James) from Omaha, NE, grandsons: Joel and Brett; son Daniel Johnson (Elaine) from Seattle, grandson Greyson and granddaughter Tess; son David Johnson (Shelly) from Bellingham, grandsons Carter and Bryce and granddaughter Abigail; son Dale Johnson from Seattle, and granddaughter Hannah; Steven Johnson (Kristin) from Seattle, and grandsons Spencer and Stuart and granddaughter Kendra.
