In the words of Olle Gladso:
The light of my life.
My life’s guiding light, passed on at Mayo in Rochester on Saturday, January 6, 2024.
She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her. Having worked a long life as an RN with a special emphasis on the elderly, she devoted the latter part of her life to volunteering as a hospice volunteer in Laramie, Wyoming, and Albert Lea, Minnesota. Susan was preceded in death by her parents and her brother.
She will always be remembered by me, her husband, our children, and her siblings.
-Olle Gladso, husband.
