Sandra McCallister Obituary

Sandra McCallister
March 14, 1953 - February 10, 2026
Sandra (AKA Sue) McCallister passed away peacefully on February 10, 2026, from an extended illness, with her husband and family by her side. Sandra was best known for her work in the dental field and was the practice manager for Eastmont Family Dental for 29 years prior to her retirement in 2012. She was known for promoting good dental hygiene in local schools, teaching proper dental care to school children dressed as the dental clown. She was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was also an active scuba diver with her husband of 43 years, Scot. She so enjoyed the precious time she spent with her family and grandchildren all her life. She also loved her miniature poodle "Chase" who was her constant companion in her last days, refusing to leave her side, even to eat. She was preceded in death by her father Orville Wilhelm, mother Viva (Watson) Wilhelm, brother Gordon Wilhelm, and brother Lenny Wilhelm. She is survived by her husband Scot McCallister, brother Dennis Wilhelm, son Tyson Jacobsen, son Sean McCallister, daughter Kayli (McCallister) Johnson, daughter Kelsie McCallister, 8 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren. A memorial service is to be held on February 26, 2026, at 1:00pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Mount Vernon, WA. Sandra (Sue) will be interred at Hawthorne Memorial Park in Mount Vernon, WA, after the memorial service.

I remember Sue as a friendly, happy person. I worked for Scot at SSA here in Wenatchee and because of Sue I still go to Eastmont Family Dental to this day. She was always very fair and I loved to stay and chat with her. My sincere sympathy to Scot and the family.
