Susan Dawn Schubert was born on September 7, 1961, to Dale and Wilma (Dieters) Schubert in Rock Rapids, Iowa. She graduated from Central Lyon High School in 1980.
On March 13, 1982, Sue was united in marriage to Ron Boogerd at Immanuel Lutheran Church of Rock Rapids. Together they made their home in Rock Rapids and were blessed with 2 children.
In the past, Sue worked at the Sportsman’s Lounge, The Office, K-Products, and most recently worked as a para educator at Central Lyon Elementary School.
She found great joy in the simple pleasures of life- especially her motorcycle rides with Ron, during which she proudly collected T-shirts from places they explored together. Her greatest happiness came from time spent with her children and grandchildren, never missing a chance to attend their activities and cheer them on. One of her favorite traditions was the annual Weeble Week at Iowana Beach, a cherished family and friend gathering filled with laughter and love. She also shared a special bond with her sister, Kay, and treasured every moment together.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 43 years, Ron; children, Jeremy (Tara) Boogerd of Jackson, MN and Amber (Jarvis) Bjorklund of Sioux Falls, SD; 5 grandchildren, Braelyn, Maddox, Avery, Nova Sue, and Willa; sister, Kay (Kendall) DeGroot of Rock Rapids, IA; along with extended family, and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and sister, Kathy Knobloch.
Blessed be her memory.
