Together Ron and Sue ran their family business for many years before retiring in 2022. The couple always had an open-door policy for family and friends; everyone was always welcome. Sue was a free-spirited, intelligent, kind women with a great sense of humor, adventurous soul and a deep love for her husband, children, grandson, family and friends. Sue loved being warm – whether it was enjoying a warm cup of coffee in her slippers and robe under a soft blanket, on the beach in the sunshine with her feet in the sand, or on the pontoon, enjoying the quiet of nature and basking in the warmth of quality time with those she loved. Sue was a music lover who enjoyed going to concerts and dancing. She knew the lyrics to every song, and you could often find her listening to her favorite band, Queen. Her favorite things were traveling, shopping trips with the girls, reading, making art (or as she called it arting), solving puzzles, antiquing, lions, rainbows, and her hometown of Oakdale. She was a great listener and had a special way of making everyone around her feel seen and heard. Susan is survived by her husband, Ron; children, Heather (Lucas) Altamira-Johnson and Brandan Johnson; grandson Cohen Altamira Johnson; siblings John (Pam) Daniels, Cheryl (Ted) Tragard, Craig Daniels; mother-in-law Pat Johnson; sisters-in-law Kim (Dave) Stein, Nancy (Terry) Meyer, and Molinda Dufner. She was proceeded in death by her parents John and May Daniels; father-in-law Lloyd Johnson; brother-in-law Rex Johnson.
