Sue worked her entire career for Stylmark, Inc. retiring after 42 years. In 2006, upon retirement, Sue and Jay moved to their newly built home on Goose Lake where their family had enjoyed a cabin for many years.

Sue and Jay were also active in their lake association. They stayed busy traveling to Florida every year and attending all their grandchildren’s activities.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the dedicated staff of Allina Home Hospice, especially Lila, RN for all her excellent care.

Auntie Sue holds a special place in my heart. She was always supportive of my achievements and encouraged me throughout my life. Her kind heart had no limits. She always made time for me as she did for her own family. Her courage and devotion will always be remembered. I loved her so much and will never forget the kindness of her nature. You can rest well now, God has you in his care.
So sorry for your loss. Sue was a wonderful person and neighbor on Goose Lake. Her passing is felt by many.
Sorry for your loss, Olson/Moser family. Sue sounded like a neat lady and Tate spoke highly of her. May you cherish memories made and find comfort knowing she is resting in peace.
So sorry for your loss. We will miss Sue, our long time neighbor and friend at Goose Lake.
Jay, Tim, Cindy, and Scotty,
My heart aches for you all. Sue holds an incredibly special place in my heart. I have spent my career at Stylmark as well. Sue was the first person to welcome me into the Stylmark family and she taught me so much over the years.
Fond memories include company parties, her amazing caramel rolls, bringing in the best tomatoes, and happy hour at the old Cattle Company.
Sue’s smile reflected all the goodness in her heart.
Praying for peace and comfort in this time of such loss.
