EVERETT — Rochelle Strong checked into a Southern California hospital with a cough in July.

Tuesday the Everett native became one of a handful of people from Snohomish County to die from the swine flu.“It was so quick, so sudden,” said her brother, Stanley Harris of Palmdale, Calif. “It's unbelievable.”

Strong, 22, leaves behind a 3-month-old boy, Jerome, and two daughters, Zoe'a, 1, and Naydia, 5. She had moved to California last summer to be closer to family.

So far, two deaths in Snohomish County have been connected to the swine flu, according to the Snohomish Health District.

Strong had been fighting leukemia before contracting the H1N1 virus.
She had been receiving radiation treatments at City of Hope Hospital in Duarte, Calif.
Family members said Strong felt good and was at home on break from treatment enjoying time with her children just before she contracted the flu. She made a few routine trips to the store and the park but went nowhere else, said Wess Harris, her sister-in-law.
