Susan Sheeler Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Susan was active in church - playing piano and singing in the choir. She had occasional part time jobs, her favorites being a proofreader for Lee Town News and working in the kitchen for Branson schools. She loved music, traveling, spending time with family and friends and of course dogs! She devoted her life to Jim and raising their children, never putting her needs before others.
Susan is survived by her children, Julie (Jim) Volpe, Kim Sheeler, Andrea (Scott) Baker and William "Bill" Sheeler; grandchildren Luke (Tanya) Routson, Laura Volpe, Lindsey (Jonathan) Clemo, Brooklynn Sheeler and Matthew Sheeler, and several great grandchildren. Susan was preceded by her parents and her husband Jim, who she showed great love and courage to in his final days.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to the loving staff at Spurgeon Manor, Dallas Center, Iowa for their exceptional care of Susan.
