Kristine Ellen Anderson

Kristine Ellen Anderson died Sept. 18, 2024, at her home in Seattle, after enduring three years of aggressive oral cancer. She was born on March 21, 1953, in Richland, Wash. Her parents were Howard and Clarene Anderson. 

Kristine earned her music degree from the University of Montana (Missoula) and was well-known as a piano accompanist throughout the Puget Sound region. She was an enthusiastic hiker, exploring the trails of the Cascade and Olympic mountains. She often hiked alone, as no companion could keep up with her. In the winter she skied and snowshoed. 

Kris is survived by her sisters Ronnene Anderson (Mark Peppler) and Dixie Bradeen (Guy Bradeen), nephews Matthew and Neil Peppler, and grand-nephew Kai. 

 A memorial event is planned for March 2025, in Seattle.
