Sue Ann Arner, 90 of Boyne City, Michigan, peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 17, 2026.Sue was born and raised in Northern Michigan, the daughter of Howard and Juanita Somerville. She attended Boyne City High School and married her high school sweetheart, Donald Arner, in 1950. Sue and Don started their 49 years together in Bay City, Michigan and eventually moved to the Detroit suburb of Garden City where they raised their four children. Upon Don's retirement from the railroad, Sue and Don returned to Boyne City where she lived the rest of her days.The most important thing in Sue's life was family. She loved being around relatives and always believed, the more, the merrier. Family gathering with Sue always provided things to look forward to, like her potato salad or her chocolate milkshakes served in cowboy boot glasses. She also had a wonderful talent for decorating, with her home always providing that neat, yet cozy feeling, that only a Grandma could provide. Sue worked several part-time jobs over the years, but it was family that always came first.
