Jimmy and family so sorry For your loss. Your mom will be deeply missed.
Hi Suzanne’s family….we don’t know any of you but we knew your mother as we all go to the same church here in Mauston. We want to express our condolences to all of you – she was a wonderful woman! We loved talking with her and in fact, she was just at our Dad’s 80th birthday party last Sunday! I (Candy) snapped a picture of her, Irene, & myself. I was SO GLAD now that I did as I sure didn’t know that day that it would be our last picture together or visit…. She always was so thoughtful and kind – sending cards all the time whenever she felt anyone needed it. Unfortunately, neither of us are able to get off work to attend the visitation and/or funeral but we’ll sure be thinking of all of you and we’ll be with you in spirit. Normally, I can always get off work but it happens that my co-worker will already be gone on Wednesday. 🙁 Sorry….. Please know your Mom was part of our United Methodist Church family here in Mauston and all of us loved her!!! Will sure miss her hugs…… God’s blessing to all of you….. Dave & Candy Evans – Mauston, WI.
Jimmy and family I am sorry for your loss. She was a sweet lady.. you and your family are in my prayers.
Our Deepest Sympathy for your loss. Sue was a wonderful lady and shall be missed by many.
So sorry to hear about your mom. I got to know her while she worked in Reedsburg. She would come in and visit with me every morning before she went to work at the service station I ran there. I was very fond of her, and the world is a lesser place without her.
So very sorry to hear of this. Hugs, prayers to you all…
Jimmy and family. I just heard about your Mom and I want to extend my deepest sympathies. She and Ansel were great friends of our family and will never be forgotten. We all had so many great memories together. I wish I had gotten a chance to visit with her the last time I was in Mauston.
So sorry to learn of Suzanne’s passing. We enjoyed her baking, her sewing, her visits and her concern for people throughout the years. She was a wonderful person.
