Sending love and prayers to Susan’s family. Susan was always so caring and thoughtful. I particularly remember her kindness after losing my dad and the support she showed my family. She was deeply loved and will be missed.
Denis, Kilee, Kristal and Families,
We were sad to learn of Sue’s passing, having known Sue during her time at the County Attorney’s office and also getting to know Denis through my brother Bob.
Such a wonderful, kind family !!
Greg Haug
Greg & Anita Blair. Our condolences.
Memories of sharing an office with Sue at Daytons Fargo always brings a smile to my face. Such good memories! My heart goes out to Denis and her beautiful family.
Always enjoyed visiting with Sue at the County Attorney’s Office, we were from the same area growing up, such a nice person. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
You were always good people. I know that the loved ones you left behind will sorely miss you for a long, long time! We will keep you in our prayers and perform good deeds for your progress up there!! “May your journey be sweet, folded between the sheaves of light until you become invisible; ever ascending to the presence of your creator! Ever folding, ever rising ever celebrating with greatest joy’
To the Kadrie and Olson family,
Our deepest sympathies to you on the loss of Susie(how I remember her).
She was a kind fun loving person, always smiling. In our younger days I
remember Susie and Carol and other friends up to shenanigans. That makes
me think of her with a smile. Keep your memories close.

Susan was a remarkable woman… I remember her teaching me how to prepare a seprograph at Dayton’s… It was fun sharing an office with her. A terrific boss and a wonderful human.
Her sense of humor and her zest for life are things I will always remember…
Denis we are sending our sincerest condolences to you and your family. We are very sad to learn of Susan’s passing. May you find much comfort in your beautiful memories. ❤️

Susan, my sweet, sweet, much loved daughter-in-law. “O my Lord! A beautiful spirit hath ascended unto Thee, unto Thy heavenly place, Thine exalted Paradise . . .” Susan left a path of love and smiles wherever she tread. Words are inadequate to express how much she will be missed. Susan left us with a memory of activity, of love, and much, much more. A brief life well lived. Marian Kadrie
Denis, and family
What a beautiful lady Sue was. She loved life to the fullest. We often commented how do Sue and Denis make every event and more? They did it with grace and ease. Her beauty, laughter, wisdom, and thoughtfulness are gifts that she passed on to her beautiful family. We are honored to have known her.

Sincere condolences and sympathies on the loss of Susan. Many great memories of our younger days visiting the Olson/Nygord/Oxton block in Finley. Susan was always kind, caring, and funny.

Dennis, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew Susan during Hugh School and later connected again when we both worked for Daytons. She had such a greiat sende of humor and was so fun to visit with. We were so sladdened when we heard about her illness. Sending sympathy and prayers to her family.
To the Kadrie and Olson families,
Susan’s service was lovely, I am sure she was smiling from above. My sincere condolences to you during this extremely difficult time. I wish that the hurt you are enduring will be taken over by the wonderful memories of Susan – her life so well-lived and the many daily joys you shared with her. I remember many wonderful times with Susan as we grew up together in Finley – playing with our Barbie dolls and cheering the Finley Wildcats.
