Erin Josue: Forever a Wolf
Erin Josue has left us in body, not in spirit.
The former Coupeville High School athlete now attends Roosevelt in Seattle, but, even though her always-smiling face no longer graces the basketball court or softball field in Cow Town doesn’t mean she isn’t still part of Wolf Nation.
Miss Josue, who celebrates a birthday today, will always be one of us. Once a Wolf, always a Wolf, in for life.
During her time in the red and black she was a member of a CHS softball team that went to state, cracking a 12-year drought for the school.
While she may not have been one of the superstars on that squad, she was indispensable.
Her joy at being out there competing with her friends was palpable. If every athlete could enjoy themselves the way she did, the sports world would be a better place.
Eternally optimistic, always among the first to cheer her teammates on or chase down a fouled-off ball, Erin was a fireball of happiness.
Athletes come and athletes go, but the ones who are remembered the longest are the ones who are great people first, last and always.
Erin was, and still is, I’m sure, a young woman who combined grace, pluck and good humor at all times.
She was, simply put, a joy to have around.
And whether she comes back to CHS before her high school days are done, or eventually graduates from another school, she will always hold a place with us.
Erin Josue was a Wolf, is a Wolf, always.
You always made us proud, and we, as a nation of your fans, wish you a day, a year, a lifetime of joy to match your radiant personality.
