Susan Anderson Obituary

Susan C. "Susie" Anderson, age 85 of Eau Claire, passed away at home on Friday, October 6.

She was born on October 21, 1937 in Eau Claire to the late Burnette and Joanne Bernicke. Susie was an in-home daycare provider for over 51 years for hundreds of kids. Each and every one those kids loved her dearly and she gave back that same love to every one of them.

Some of the things she enjoyed were camping with her family every weekend in the summers, playing cards and bowling at the State Lanes. She was on the city champion curling team and made a hole in one at Pine Meadow Golf Course. She was truly a special and unique person with sincere care and love for everyone, quick of wit and always a happy and positive friend; one in a million!

Susie is survived by her husband Bill; son Tom (Sherry) Stelter; daughter Amy (Jim) Calverley; step-children Betsy, Bill, Ann Marie, Cindy, Phil, Greg, Brian, Tammy, Sherryl and Steve; seven grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; brother-in-law Darrell (Jeanne) Anderson; sisters-in-laws Una Swanson and Diane Bernicke. She is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

Preceding her in death are her parents; husband Bob; former husband Elger Cramer; son Rob Stelter, brother Tom Bernicke and sister Mary Jo Amundson. A memorial service will be held at 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Saturday, October 21 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 601 Fall St., Eau Claire with Pastor Jeff Carlson officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Burial will take place at Forest Hill Cemetery, Eau Claire.

A celebration of life will be held at the Lake Hallie Golf Course, 2196 110th St., Chippewa Falls from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Please bring memories to share.
