She was predeceased by her parents, Frank B. and Aganetha Kroeker; three brothers, Peter, Jake and Frank; and three sisters, Annie, Mary and Nettie.
Susie was a loving, caring, and praying mother, and a wonderful partner to her husband. She displayed her love and care by her many household duties and meeting the needs of her family.
