Chelsea E. Spooner ’92

July 31, 2019, in Rainier, Washington, from a fire.

Chelsea graduated as valedictorian of her class from North Mason High School in Belfair, Washington, where she was also a star basketball player. Following in the footsteps of her father, Robert Spooner ’67, and her grandmother, Emily Louise Spooner ’30, Chelsea studied at ¹û½´ÊÓƵ for two years, majoring in English. She then began a career with the Washington State Labor and Industries Department in Tumwater, Washington. A free spirit, she was smart, funny, and a funky fashionista who referred to herself as “Mama Soo.” She and her beloved dog Koko Puffs died in a fire at her home in Rainier. She is survived by her mother, Jeanne Spooner.
