Sue Ann Ulrey, born on January 11, 1941, in Elwood, Indiana, to Lewis A. and Loretta B. (Morris) Sturtsman, passed away on October 19, 2025 at Parkview Regional Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
After graduating from Elwood High School, Sue married Robert L. Ozenbaugh, and together they welcomed eight children into their lives. While this chapter of her life was significant, it eventually came to an end, and Sue found love once more. She married Paul Ulrey, and in the 1980s, their adventure took them to the sunny shores of Pensacola, Florida, and later to Gulf Shores, Alabama.
In the warmth of these coastal communities, Sue and Paul built memories that would stay with them forever. Following Paul's passing, Sue made the thoughtful decision to return to Wabash, Indiana.
The loving memory of Sue Ann Ulrey will be forever cherished by her sons, Robert Ozenbaugh, Atwood, Indiana, Richard Ozenbaugh, Virgil (Violet) Ozenbaugh, North Manchester, Indiana, Scotty Ozenbaugh, Liberty Mills, Indiana, Lewis (Barbara Betten) Ozenbaugh, Ijamsville, Indiana, and Eric (Brenda) Ozenbaugh, Knox, Indiana; daughter, Wendy (Leonard) Kelly, Wabash, Indiana; numerous grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren. Sue was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Paul Ulrey; daughter, Letitia Stacie Finney; brothers, Bill, Bob, and Jim Sturtsman; and sister, Irene Tyner.
A celebration of Sue’s life will be held at a later date.
The family of Sue Ann Ulrey has entrusted McKee Mortuary with care and final arrangements.
