Susie enjoyed helping her "honey" at his auto body shop, taking weekend jaunts together on the snowmobile trails, kicking up her heels on the dance floor. She loved music so much that she taught herself to play the organ and could be heard blocks away as she practiced for hours to any old time country artist. Susie also loved to knit, crochet and quilt. But, above all of this, she loved the time she spent being a "Nana" to their grandchildren and great grandchildren over the years. She loved to plan mini vacations with Elmer and extended family, whether it was just up north or a trip out west she cherished those memories, so thank you to Jim, Julie and Chris for being part of her adventures.
