Auntie Sue was always so kind to me, I enjoyed our conversations about teaching and life in general. She always had a story to share and took a genuine interest in those around her. She will be greatly missed, thinking of you all during this difficult time.
I had the pleasure of being Sue’s college roommate at UW Eau Claire for 3 years so I knew her well. She was one of the kindest people you could know and a loyal friend. The best roommate you could ever ask for. Sue had m as my health challenges throughout her life and met them with determination and occassionally humor. Ssd he was a woman of faith and I know she is in heaven with our Lord and Savior.

Please take time out here and there to remember the memories you all had the opportunity to spend together, may there be many! Sue will be sorely missed by everyone she had the chance to meet. May she rest in peace.

When I was 12 or so, I used my babysitting money and took a bus, alone, to Eau Claire where Sue was attending college. I had on a skirt Mom had sewn (I miss your great works, still, Mom!) and I felt so grown up, taking the 5 hour or more hour trip to be with my big sister on a college campus for a weekend. She and her friends had lined up many age appropriate activities for me. Being included with her friends made me feel special. Bowling was fun. But something sticks in my mind from that weekend: I can still see the picture taken of a bunch of us crammed into a shower -fully clothed – laughing. No memory of why we were in there in the first place. But the laughter remains.
Thanks for the grownup weekend, Sue.. You have always had a way to make me feel special.

Dear Barden Family, I had the pleasure of working with Sue at West Middle School when she was a Special Education teacher and I taught 8th grade American History. Sue was so wonderful with her students who needed extra assistance in many ways. We enjoyed collaborating on lessons that were inclusive for all students. Sue always had many good ideas and shared them freely. As I got to spend more time with her, I found out that she had a very quick sense of humor. I had fun laughing with her many times. After we both retired, it was nice to see her at our Retirees’ Breakfasts. I will miss her company at future breakfasts. I thank Sue and Doug for being part of my life.
Doug. Nick and send our sincerest condolences all the way from California. May God Bless you during this time.
And as we say on the west coast: Light ahead. With blessings
Your friend

Sue always showed interest and took the time to interact lovingly with my two special children – Michael and Katie. She would listen to them for as long as they had something to say no matter the number of times Michael repeated himself, or how many times Katie tried different variations of gestures to get her story across. Auntie Sue will be truly missed.
Doug:
I am so sorry to hear about Sue. May Jesus give you comfort in mourning your lovely wife.
