Losing a Member of Our Democratic Family
January 4, 2010 – 9:05 pm by smwolfejrIt is with great sadness that I post the news of the passing of Sue Lahti this past weekend, after a three month battle with cancer. Sue was the 37th District Democrats’ King County Legislative Action Committeewoman, a member of our Executive Board, a long standing member of the Democratic Party and an outstanding PCO.
We will miss Sue’s dedication to Democratic issues and causes. In particular, we remember her work on the LAC where she doggedly followed the proceedings in Olympia making sure our representatives were fighting for the issues she and the rest of the 37th District Democrats cared about.
Sue is survived by her husband John and daughter Mia. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. Details will be posted here when they become known.
Sincerely,
Michael Wolfe

Mr. Wolfe,
It is my understanding that the memorial service for Sue will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Seattle this coming Saturday, January 16, at 1 p.m.
