Summers on November

Sue began her working

career with Twin City

Freight for eight years.

She then went to work for

Bacon Signs for thirty

years in sales, where she

achieved top salesperson

status for a couple of

years.

Growing up, Sue had

horses and loved to ride,

and became a collector of

all things horses.

Throughout her life she

was very active at Zion

Lutheran Church, ringing

hand bells and directing

hand bells for twenty

years. She was a member

of Zion Lutheran Church,

Minot, ND, Wreath’s

Club, and Daughters of

Norway, serving as one of

the founding members of

the Mina Aasen Lodge in

Minot, ND.

Sue was very dedicated

to her children, grandchil-dren and

great-grandchildren, cele-

brating all their achieve-

ments and encouraging

them always to be and do

their very best. She al-

ways tried to attend all

the activities and events

for them that she could,

claiming it was what kept

her young and active.

Sue very much enjoyed

riding motorcycle, stating

she was one of the first fe-

males in North Dakota to

get her motorcycle

license. Most recently Sue

and George purchased a

Mustang convertible and

enjoyed cruising Broad-

way on cruise nights

along with the Dakota

Cruisers Car Club.

One of her most favorite

things to do was having

family and friends over,

especially in the summer,

visiting in her backyard

on the patio. She enjoyed

her flowers and loved

showing them off to

everyone. Sue was an avid

book reader and loved

reading. She enjoyed

spending as much time

with her grandkids as she

could.

Sue is famous for her

“Grandma’s Burritos” and

fried tacos, feeding any

and all who came to her

home. The family favorite

holiday was “Donut Day”

also known as Labor Day.

All her kids and

grandchildren and

great-grandchildren came

home for Donut Day! Sue

was certainly in her ele-

ment whenever she was

with family.
