Terre Aarde Obituary

Terre Ann (Sims) Aarde June 30, 1944 - February 26, 2024 Terre Ann (Sims) Aarde, age 79, passed away February 26, 2024 at St. Anne's hospital in Burien, WA. A lifelong resident of the Roslyn and Lake Cle Elum area, Terre was predeceased by her husband James R. Aarde, parents Joseph and Beulah Sims, brother Larry Sims and her life partner Russell Wilson. She is survived by her brother Forrest Sims, daughter Angela, son-in-law Carsten and many loved family and friends.

Terre loved art, especially the art of home construction. She loved kayaking and camping at Lake Cle Elum and Fish Lake. She appreciated growing up during "Happy Days" in the 50's. She felt lucky to have had two great loves in her life even though she lost them both too soon. She held to no particular beliefs but was open to whatever may be and always said even though she'd had a couple hard knocks she was happy she got her turn at life. She fell asleep that day dreaming of new adventures she would have in Alaska with her "kids."

A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In remembrance, a donation to the Humane Society would be something she would like.
