Sue Caroline Ogden
World traveler, artist, lover of water and its creatures
Sue Caroline Ogden, daughter of the late Carroll and J. Alene Ogden of Winthrop died peacefully from cancer on December 29 at Provincetown, Massaschuets.
She was born on December 4, 1943 in Winthrop, and was a graduate of Winthrop High School, Class of 1960. For a long time after that, she was employed first by Northeast Airlines which changed to Eastern and was finally changed to ownership by Delta. During those years she had the unforgettable experience of becoming a world traveler to such places as the United Kingdom, Spain, Japan, India, and South America.
Having lived by the ocean from an early age, she not surprisingly moved to Provincetown 30 years ago where she was employed by Dolphin Fleet until her retirement. She had an abiding love of the water and the creatures therein like the whales and dolphins. Many of her happiest times were out on her own boat which she loved.
She was also known as a local artist exhibiting her paintings there, most recently in showings on Provincetown’s main pier’s Art Shacks.
She is survived by her sister, Martha A. Heller of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and her nephews, Frank L. Hadden and his son, F. Henry Hadden of Jackson, Mississippi.
A memorial service at Provincetown will be held at a later date to be announced when her ashes will be scattered by Lighthouse Point near Provincetown.
