Nancy Sue Elsten Von Qualen
 

   

Born April 15, 1947 in Anderson, IN, the only child of Dr. and Mrs. A.W. Elsten.

Passed away April 4th, 2011 following a brief struggle with cancer.

An exceptional student, Sue attended the prestigious Telluride Association Summer Program and went on to Cornell University. She met her husband Doug at Cornell and moved to the Bay Area in 1972. They lived first in San Francisco and since 1994 in San Rafael, enjoying an active California lifestyle with lots of swimming, cycling, and later golf at Peacock Gap Country Club, where they were lifetime members.
She was an old-fashioned all American girl, courteous, kind and self-sacrificing to a fault.

She gave 40 happy years of marriage to her husband. She was a wonderful wife. Sue will long be fondly remembered by her many friends.

A private memorial gathering is planned for May 14th, 2011.
