Sue Ann Winn

Sue Ann Winn, a longtime resident of La Conner, passed away on July 8, 2024, in Mount Vernon at the age of 74.

Sue was born in Coupeville on Oct. 8, 1949, to parents "Deb" and Betty Ann Everett. She was raised in Oak Harbor and graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1967. She was always very social and loved being with her friends. Sue loved the water growing up and spent summers lifeguarding at the local pool. After graduating, she pursued many adventures in and around Seattle before settling her family in La Conner.

Sue found her true passion while growing her family. Raising her two daughters in La Conner, she became a true "mom" to all. Her door was always open and she was happiest when her house was full. She was an amazing cook, an avid sports fan and a tireless volunteer in the school district. She held everyone to a high standard, and even taught a number of local kids to swim.

Sue's "family" expanded when she opened Punkin Patch Childcare. She loved the kids in her daycare like her own. She enjoyed helping parents and kids grow together. Her legacy of giving back to the community and loving everyone around her well will be carried on by those touched by her life.

Sue is survived by her two daughters Jen (Tom) Faley of Coronado, Calif., and Stacy (Ja'wanne) Brown of Lacey; her grandkids Zach (17) and Cooper (15) Faley, and Grace (9) Brown; her sister Nancy (Frank) Hunter; nieces Jami (Mike) Lindberg, Bre (Kyle) Speck and their families; and her beloved canine companion, Lilly. Sue is preceded in death by her parents, "Deb" & Betty Ann Everett.

A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, at Swinomish Yacht Club, 310 N. First St., La Conner.

Arrangements are under the care of Kern Funeral Home of Mount Vernon.
