Sue Eazer

Sue Eazer 81, went to be with her Lord on Easter Sunday, April 24, 2011. She passed away peacefully in her sleep in the place she most wanted to be, at her home and by her husband's side. She is survived by her loving husband, Ted and their five children, Ted II (Debra), David (Jackie), Gerry (Kim), Eve (Dwayne) and Susan, along with her nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Janice Gray and is preceded in death by her mother and father, Eva and George Higgins; her brother, Tommy and her sister, Alicia. Sue was born in Highland Park, Michigan on May 10, 1929. She lived with her family in Ferndale, Michigan and graduated from Lincoln High. Sue and Ted met in high school and renewed their relationship when Ted returned home from the Navy during World War II. The couple were married on April 10, 1948 in Ferndale, Michigan and moved to Tucson in 1956 where they raised their family. Sue's main treasure in life was her family. She was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She adored her children, along with each new grandchild and great- grandchild that came into the family. She was an award-winning home maker and loved every minute of it. She upholstered furniture, made beautiful curtains, pillows and bedding and wallpapered the walls of her family home with style. Sue was an incredible artisan. Her crafts included ceramics, elegant jewelry and beautiful porcelain dolls. She was very proud of her dolls which were on display at many doll shows and won numerous awards. She shared her talents and was a wonderful teacher of crafts. Some of her happiest moments were spent in her children's classrooms teaching ceramics and other crafts to the students. She also spent countless hours in her special workshop that Ted created for her in their home, where she shared her many talents with her family and friends. Sue's greatest love was her husband, Ted with whom she had just celebrated her 63rd wedding anniversary, two weeks prior to her death. She was often heard to say that he "was her world", and she was clearly his. Together they lovingly raised their family; shared precious times with many dear relatives and a large host of special friends. In the early 1980's, the couple purchased their first R.V. and joined the "Pace Arrow Roadrunners" a local motor home club. For the next 20 years they traveled across the country, many times with their kids and grandchildren, as well as attending dozens of rallies where they met many of their dearest friends and shared many wonderful adventures. Ted and Sue also shared a deep commitment to God and attended Immanuel Presbyterian Church for over 30 years. For many years their family battled many serious health problems and their faith in God and the support of the Church helped them through each tragedy. Sue was a fighter with boundless strength. In her final years, though her body had become frail and fragile, she still awoke each morning determined to face each day with a smile because for Sue it was another day she could share with her family and friends. Now, she is finally at peace, no longer burdened with pain, and with her Lord Jesus Christ. She has left all who knew her with many endearing memories and will be missed dearly by all. Sue's final resting place will be the Memorial Garden at Immanuel Presbyterian Church. Memorial Service to be held 10:00 a.m., Saturday, May 14, 2011 at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, 9252 E. 22nd Street. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Dodge Chapel.
